"Angela" is a song recorded by American folk rock band The Lumineers for their second studio album, Cleopatra, and released as the album's third single on April 1, 2016.

The Lumineers have said that the song "Angela," is about "a small town beauty struggling to escape her past." During a recent interview, The Lumineers also mentioned how the name "Angela" comes from lead singer Wesley Schultz's ex-girlfriend Angela Henard; noting:

"Although we didn't work out she still holds a place in my heart. This is why she is brought up in multiple songs."

Through Facebook, The Lumineers premiered a twenty-one second long snippet of a live performance of the song on April 1, 2016.

On April 1, 2016, The Lumineers premiered the song "Angela," with a live performance at the iHeartRadio music theater in LA. The performance was aired on Audience Network, at 9pm on April 8, 2016. The Lumineers also performed the song for KEXP at the Columbia City Theater; and on April 16, 2016, they performed the song for The Saturday Sessions, a weekly music slot featured on the daily morning news program, CBS This Morning.
