"Reason" is a song by German girl band No Angels. It was written by Thorsten Brötzmann and Alexander Geringas and produced by the former for their debut studio album Elle'ments (2001). "Reason" is a piano-led pop ballad with soft string arrangements and lyrics that talk about reminiscing past memories with a loved one. One of the slower songs on the album, its original version, entitled "That's the Reason", served as the closing track on both the original version of Elle'ments as well as its Special Winter deluxe edition.

An updated version of the song, featuring new vocals, new instrumentation and slightly different lyrics was recorded following the band's announcement of their temporary disbandment in September 2003. Throughout the process, the remaining band members were rejoined by Jessica Wahls who had left the band the year before. "Reason" served as the band's farewell single and lead single from their compilation album The Best of No Angels (2003) and was released on 24 November 2003 in German-speaking Europe. Another top ten success, the song peaked at number nine on the German Singles Chart and reached number 12 in Austria and number 28 in Switzerland. No Angels promoted the song at several television events.
