"When I Think About Angels" is a song by Australian country music artist Jamie O'Neal. Penned by O'Neal, Roxie Dean, and Sonny Tillis and produced by Keith Stegall, it was released on March 12, 2001, as the second single from her debut studio album Shiver (2000); it is the opening track to the album.

It was a huge success, becoming her second consecutive number one single on the US Hot Country Songs chart and was one of that year's most successful hits at country radio. It is also one of the few cases where a song topped Billboard's country singles chart but not Radio & Records; the song reached number two on the latter chart. "When I Think About Angels" was nominated at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002 for Best Country Song.[5]
