"I Need An Angel" is the title of a song by singer Daniel DeBourg released on his Tell the World album in 2002, that made #30 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. The song was produced by Derek S. Clark of Tacoma, Washington and written by R. Kelly.
A version performed by R. Kelly himself was included on advance copies of his 2004 double album, Happy People/U Saved Me, but was replaced with the song "I Surrender" on the final release.
The song was remade by second-season American Idol winner Ruben Studdard in 2004, as the title track of his album I Need an Angel. It peaked at #32 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
