"Igual que un Ángel" is a song by the American singer Kali Uchis and the Mexican musician Peso Pluma, from Uchis' fourth studio album, Orquídeas (2024). Originally released as an 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.[3] 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.

Background

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.[4]
