"Angel Pt. 1" is a song by American rappers Kodak Black and NLE Choppa featuring South Korean singer Jimin and American singers Jvke and Muni Long. It was released on May 18, 2023, as the fourth single from the soundtrack to the American action film Fast X (2023).

Background

[edit]

On May 9, 2023, the song was previewed on Twitter and announced as a single from the soundtrack of Fast X.[1] The single was released on May 18, 2023, a day before the film and its soundtrack were released.

In an interview with PopSugar, NLE Choppa stated:

I've actually been for a while manifesting wanting to work with BTS and to be able to work with just one of the guys from BTS — on the Fast & Furious soundtrack, something so big — I feel like it's a beautiful thing, and it's one of those things I prayed for. So, every time you hear BTS in my mouth or Jimin in my mouth, there's gonna be a thank you behind it, because I'm just grateful knowing how big that scene is and grateful to know how big the impact they have on K-pop is in general.[2]

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

The song starts with piano melodies[3] as Jvke and Jimin sing the chorus,[3][4] followed by a verse from Kodak Black about persisting through hard times[5] and the importance of family ties. In the second chorus, Muni Long sings the first half and duets with Jimin in the second. NLE Choppa's verse details escaping adversity.[4] Lyrically, the song centers on the theme of keeping loved ones close.[6] "Angel Pt. 1" is written in a key of B-flat minor with a tempo of 85 beats per minute.

Critical reception

[edit]

Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop wrote, "Overall, it makes for a solid collaboration that also comes with great vocal performances from Muni Long."[3] Marv Calderon of XMPL Magazine dubbed the song "collaboration of the year."[7]

Music video

[edit]

An official music video was directed by Stripmall[5][6] and released alongside the single. It begins with Jvke playing piano, after which Jimin appears singing from a rooftop in New York City during sunset.[4] The video features shots of fast and high-end cars, lights, city skylines,[5][6][8] in addition to psychedelic visuals,[8] interspersed with clips from Fast X.[6]

"Angel Pt. 2"

[edit]

A second version of the song, featuring American singer Charlie Puth instead of NLE Choppa and Kodak Black, was released on June 15, 2023.[9]
