## Music and composition

Ross Lynch for Paste Magazine:

> "I was listening to this mix of this new song we're about to put out called Heaven Angel and just sort of like going back through the process of how we made it and it was constructed. It sort of started with me just like doing this [play guitar] and before I knew it, I walked into the studio and Rocky had this freaking baseline going in this drum loop popping."

Rocky Lynch for EUPHORIA Magazine:

> "I was in our garage studio when I heard Ross playing the hook on acoustic guitar in the other room, and I instantly stopped what I was working on and started to work on this."

## Critical reception

EUPHORIA Magazine opined:

> "Down to the production and funky bass throughout the song, The Driver Era might have gifted listeners with a new summer banger. This is a fantastic track to be playing in nightclubs. If the cards are played right, “Heaven Angel” could become a big hit. It’s everything we needed after a difficult 2020."

Rock N Load Magazine opined:

> "With a thrumming melody & layered rhythm paired with velvety-smooth vocals, “Heaven Angel” is a punchy & dynamic track highlight’s the band’s signature ability to blend unforgettable melodies with intricate lyrics that makes this single in particular the perfect insight into The Driver Era’s new era. With their crooning voices, Ross & Rocky sing *“Hard to find, you’re one of a kind, girl/Why can’t you fly my Heaven Angel/I get so shy being right by your side/it’s no surprise you caught my eye,”* singing about the feeling you get when they meet someone who captivates you entirely."

## Lyrics

Oh my dear could you look any better

Come a long way from heaven angel

Bet she doesn’t wear any underwear

But she doesn’t care no she doesn’t care

for your right to understand

She’s a woman

Girl

and you should know that

It could be a problem too cause

were watching as we burn down

It’s getting late won’t you come around

You're what I need

Oh my

and I think I’m in love

Oh my

Cause I think I’m in love

Oh my

and I think I’m in love

Oh my

Cause I think I’m in love

Hard to find your one of a kind girl

Why can't you fly my heaven angel

i get so shy being right by your side

it's no surprise that you caught my eye

baby tonight won’t you be mine

Girl

Girl

there's no one better

and you should know that

It could be a problem too cause

were watching as we burn down

It’s getting late won’t you come around

You're what I need

Oh my

Oh my

Cause I think I’m in love

Oh my

and I think I’m in love

Oh my
