Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Angel. By Songfacts®.

This is a tribute to women who stick by their men through good times and bad. Speaking with MTV, Shaggy explained: "How many times do guys screw up and realize that all them chicks they were hitting wasn't even worth the time of day? Meanwhile, old girl was the one that was there when you got locked up. Life is one big party when you're still young, but who's gonna have your back when it's all done? That alone says it. It's just plain homage to the women that hold it down. Shaggy's always been for the ladies."

The West Indian vocalists Rayvon and Rikrok sang on this. Shaggy helped them put together solo albums in return.

The chorus is based on the lyrics and vocal melody of "Angel of the Morning," a hit for Merrilee Rush in 1968 and Juice Newton in 1981. Shaggy got the idea when Rikrok came into the studio singing it.
