Background[]

Rumors about the song began to spread around June 2019 after Cyrus reportedly liked an Instagram post about a collaboration with Grande and Del Rey.[6] On June 22, the official GIPHY account for the upcoming Charlie's Angels film tagged the three singers in a now-deleted post, fueling those rumors.[7]

The song was announced on June 26, 2019,[1][2][3][4] and a snippet was included in the film's trailer, released the following day.[5]

On June 28, 2019, Cyrus posted the film's trailer on Instagram and added "#Angel" to the caption which lead fans to believe that the song would be titled "Angel".[8] The song's title was confirmed by Grande on July 23, 2019.[9]

In an interview with 1043MYfm on August 28, 2019, Del Rey talked about how the collaboration came to be: "The song's really cute. It's really cool. When I first heard it obviously I wasn't on it. It was just Ariana's parts. And they wanted me to write something so I [...] kinda cut her [Grande's] verse into a halftime bridge and just sang some stuff over her [Grande's] choruses as well and then Miley jumped on. So it's just really very spicy. A spicy little track." Del Rey also confirmed that the three shot a music video for the song and that the song would be coming out in "two weeks".[10]

On March 7, 2023, multitracks and reference demo of the song leaked in lossless quality.

Lyrics[]

[Ariana Grande & Miley Cyrus]:
Boy, don't call me angel
You ain’t got me, right
Don't call me angel
You can't pay my price
Ain't from no Heaven
Yeah, you heard me right (Yeah you heard me)
Even though you know we fly (Do you know me?)
Don’t call me angel

[Miley Cyrus]:
Don’t call me angel when I’m a mess
Don’t call me angel when I get undressed
You know I, I don’t like that, boy
I make my money and I write the checks
So say my name with a little respect
All my girls successful and you just our guest
Do I really need to say it?
Do I need to say it again, yeah?
You better stop the sweet talk and keep your pretty mouth shut

[Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, & Lana Del Rey]:
Boy, don't call me angel
You ain’t got me right
Don't call me angel
You can't pay my price
Ain't from no Heaven
Yeah, you heard me right (Yeah you heard me)
Even though you know we fly (Do you know me?)
Don’t call me angel

[Ariana Grande]:
See you here with somebody
You sizing up my body
Don't you know that I bite when the sun set, yeah
So don’t you try come around me
Might work with her but no me
Don't you know that I bite when the sun set
Keep my name out ya mouth
I know what you about
So keep my name out ya mouth, mouth
 
[Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, & Lana Del Rey]:
Boy, don't call me angel
You ain’t got me right
Don't call me angel
You can't pay my price
Ain't from no Heaven
Yeah, you hurt me right (Yeah you heard me)
Even though you know we fly (Do you know me?)
Don’t call me angel

[Lana Del Rey]:
I appreciate the way you watch me I can't lie
I drop it down, I pick it up,
I back it off the county line
I fell from Heaven, now I'm living like a devil
You can't get me off your mind
I appreciate the way you want me I can’t lie
I drop it low I back it up
I know you wanna think you’re mine
Baby I totally get it
You can't guess so you can't get me off your mind
We in it together but don’t call me angel

[Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, & Lana Del Rey]:
Boy, don't call me angel
You ain’t got me right
Don't call me angel
You can't pay my price
Ain't from no Heaven
Yeah, you heard me right (Yeah you heard me)
Even though you know we fly (Do you know me?)
Don’t call me angel

Angel
Don’t call me angel
Don’t call me angel
