"Igual que un Ángel" (transl. Just like an Angel) is a song by the Colombian-American singer Kali Uchis and the Mexican musician Peso Pluma, from Uchis' fourth studio album, Orquídeas (2024). Originally released as a track from the album through Geffen Records, it was sent to Italian radio airplay through Universal Music Group on February 1, 2024, as the album's fourth single.[4] The song was written by Uchis with Manuel Lorente, and its producers Carter Lang and Dylan Wiggins, with Austen-Jux Chandler and Jean Rodríguez receiving production credits.
Kali Uchis sent "Igual que un Ángel" and another song from Orquídeas, "Te Mata" to Peso Pluma, but did not expect him to record his verse on the songs. Uchis found out that Pluma loved "Igual que un Ángel", and they later worked on the song.[5]
Following the album's release, "Igual que un Ángel" debuted atop the Billboard US Hot Latin Songs chart, having received a total of 13.4 million streams in the United States, and was the second song from Orquídeas overall, after "Labios Mordidos", to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 23, while Labios Mordidos entered the chart at number 97.[7] The song peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Global 200, and peaked at number 10 on the chart's version excluding the U.S.[8]
