"Angels Would Fall" is a song by American musician Melissa Etheridge, released as the first single from her sixth album, Breakdown (1999), on August 31, 1999.

The song was written by Melissa Etheridge with the main guitar loop contributed by John Shanks.

""Angels Would Fall" is about a desperate crush Etheridge had on someone else's girlfriend during her shattered relationship with Julie Cypher.

The music video was shot in 1999 and shows Etheridge playing her song in a dark, empty, saloon-styled bar where the furniture is destroyed like after a fight.

In retrospective scenes, nebulous images of people in white dresses come down from the ceiling symbolising the fallen angels.
