"No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" is a song recorded by German pop band No Angels. It was written by Pete Kirtley, Tim Hawes and Liz Winstanley for the group's third studio album Pure (2003), while production was helmed by Nik Hafemann. The mid-tempo pop track incorporates minor pop rock and soft rock elements; the song's instrumentation includes drums and guitars. Lyrically, it deals with picture-perfect illusions in a relationship. The group premiered the song at the Bravo Super Show on March 8, 2003.

The song was released as the album's lead single along with a cover version of Shocking Blue's "Venus" on April 22, 2003 in German-speaking Europe. It marked the group's first release without fifth band member Jessica Wahls following her break from the band due to maternity. Contemporary music citics gave the song a generally positive reception. Commercially, "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" was an instant success: It debuted at number-one on the German Singles Chart, the group's fourth single to do so. It also peaked at number ten in Austria and reached number seven on a composite European Hot 100 Singles chart.

After band member Jessica Wahls' pregnancy break from the group after the end of the Four Seasons Tour, the remaining four members of the No Angels began intensifying work on their then-untitled third studio album. Encouraged to exercise more self-control on the longplayer after their critically acclaimed contribution to predecessor Now... Us!, the band took over responsibility in composing, recording and selecting songs to guarantee a more personal theme on the album — a step that challenged criticism and growing scepticism among the band's label Cheyenne Records and recording company Polydor."No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" was written by Pete Kirtley and Tim Hawes from British production team Jiant along with songwriter Liz Winstanley. Production was overseen by Perky Park and Nik Hafemann for Cheyenne Records. Thomas Blug played the guitar, while mixing was handled by Park. All vocals were recorded at the Weryton Studios in Munich, with Hafemann also serving as vocal producer and arranger.
