Lips of an Angel is a power ballad by Oklahoma City rock band Hinder and cowritten by Carl Johnson. It was the second single off of the Extreme Behavior album, and has been the band's breakthrough single, having reached #3 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the top three of the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
The lyrics deal with a singer describing his feelings when his assumed ex-girlfriend calls him late at night. They are both in relationships at the time, however the singer tells of how his feelings are still predominantly with her, and it seems hers are also still with him. More than once, a reference to the call being secret is made, and the singer expresses concern of a fight ensuing as a result. The song concludes just as it began, with the singer questioning to why she is calling so late. Austin Winkler from Hinder said on American Top 40 that the song is not about cheating and also that it is based on a past experience of the lead singers Austin Winkler's. According to American Top 40 this song wasn't even supposed to be on the album but on a b-side.
On October 22, 2007, Lips of an Angel took over the number one spot on the Canadian BDS chart from The Killers. On October 29, 2007, it took over the number one spot on Australia's ARIA Singles Chart from Evermore.
