"Angelito" ("Little Angel") is the first single by Don Omar taken from his album King of Kings. It reached number one on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay, Hot Latin Tracks and Latin Tropical Airplay charts. It appeared in the US chart, peaking at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Angelito" is one of the most thematic songs in the history of Reggaetón, like "Shorty" (by Randy), "Down" (by Rakim & Ken-Y) and "Todo Tiene Final" (by Arcángel). The meaning of the song is that the "angelito" is a girl who contracted AIDS for a revenge and has sex with a stranger, who is death. At the end of the song, the girl finally dies. And has a baby who is a younger DON OMAR so he remembers this when he is older.

That's why the song says: "Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte, aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte, todavía le late el alma, el corazón no lo siente" [...] "Dos extraños jugando a quererse, en lo oscuro el amor no puede verse, es que tengas la vida de frente es morir o detente" [...] "Esta es la feliz historia de dos enamorados, de dos soñadores, de dos amantes, que permitieron que tan solo un minuto de su vida decidiera el resto de la misma, irónico el momento en el que el amor se convierte en muerte".

The music video was filmed in Rome, featuring many of the city's historic landmarks directed by David Impelluso. It has been viewed more than 27 million times on the popular video website YouTube.
