Released as a single in 1998, "Angel" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 on February 22, 1999, and number one on three Billboard charts: the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, the Adult Top 40 chart, and the Top 40 Tracks chart. For live performances, it is transposed up one half-step to D major, the key it was originally written in, and played without the bass. It was recorded in the key of D-flat major. The song has a sparse arrangement-mostly McLachlan at the piano, with subtle upright bass played by Jim Creeggan of Barenaked Ladies. I've never done heroin, but I've done plenty of other things to escape." She said that the song is about "trying not to take responsibility for other people's problems and trying to love yourself at the same time". She said that she identified with the feelings that might lead someone to use heroin: "I've been in that place where you've messed up and you're so lost that you don't know who you are anymore, and you're miserable-and here's this escape route. It was inspired by articles that she read in Rolling Stone about musicians turning to heroin to cope with the pressures of the music industry and subsequently overdosing. McLachlan said that writing it was easy, "a real joyous occasion", and that "the bulk of it came in about three hours". "Angel" was one of the first songs written for Surfacing. Outside North America, the song has charted in several countries in the years following its release, including reaching number seven in Ireland in 2002 and number nine in Norway in 2008. In McLachlan's native Canada, the song reached number seven on the RPM Top Singles chart and was the forty-eighth best-selling single of 1999. "Angel" was McLachlan's second consecutive top-five hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four and remaining in the top ten for nineteen weeks. It is sometimes mistitled as " In the Arms of an Angel" or " Arms of the Angel". The lyrics are about the death of Jonathan Melvoin (1961–1996), the Smashing Pumpkins' touring keyboard player, from a heroin overdose, as McLachlan explained on VH1 Storytellers.
