"No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" is a song by German pop band No Angels. It was written by Pete Kirtley, Tim Hawes and Liz Winstanley for the group's third studio album, Pure (2003), while production was helmed by Nik Hafemann along with Arno Kammermeier, Peter Hayo, and Walter Merziger who are credited under their production moniker Perky Park. The mid-tempo pop track incorporates minor pop rock and soft rock elements; the song's instrumentation includes drums and guitars. Lyrically, it deals with picture-perfect illusions in a relationship.
The song was released as the album's lead single along with a cover version of Dutch rock band Shocking Blue's "Venus" (1969) on 22 April 2003 in German-speaking Europe. "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" marked the group's first release without fifth band member Jessica Wahls following her break from the band due to maternity. Commercially, the single was an instant success: It debuted at number-one on the German Singles Chart, the group's fourth single to do so. It also peaked at number ten in Austria and reached number seven on a composite European Hot 100 Singles chart.
The accompanying music video was directed by Marcus Sternberg, and features the girls in a warehouse-type building that was inspired by Andy Warhol's Silver Clouds art installation and its large helium-filled, pillow-like forms made from silver plastic film. Each member of the band is also shown on other locations, following several story lines. "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" was promoted through numerous live appearances, including its world premiere at the Bravo Super Show on 8 March 2003 as well as performances on Top of the Pops and Interaktiv.
