"Angel in Disguise" is a song recorded by American singer Brandy for her second studio album Never Say Never (1998). It was written by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels, Traci Hale, and Tye-V Turman, and was produced by Jerkins along with Brandy. The song was recorded and mixed by audio engineer Dave Way at the Pacifique Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California and features prominent backing vocals by singer Joe.
"Angel in Disguise" was well received by music critics. Billboard described it as "outstanding" and "spectacular" and said it would effectively shoot down all preconceived notions that Norwood only made bubblegum pop. The song was at one stage intended to be released as a single from Never Say Never but these plans did not materialize. It was instead released as a promo single on the North American music market on January 21, 1999.
The song peaked at number 72 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It became Brandy's first song to chart without an actual single release or a video. On the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart the song peaked at number 17, becoming Brandy's 8th consecutive top twenty song.
