"Rivers of Joy" is a dance-pop song recorded by German pop group No Angels. It was written by Swedish composers Hans Andersson and Niklas Pettersson and produced by songwriter Peter Ries for the band's debut studio album, Elle'ments, released in March 2001. An anthemic song about self-empowerment, the track combines elements of gospel music and eurodance with prominent usage of a piano sample.

The composition was released as the album's second single in German-speaking Europe on April 30, 2001 (see 2001 in music) upon the major success of debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes." The song reached the top ten in Germany and Switzerland. This however, made "Rivers of Joy" the lowest-charting single of the Elle'ments era, as both singles of the reissue charted significantly higher.

An accompanying music video for "Rivers of Joy" was directed by Robert Bröllochs and filmed in Groß-Gerau, Germany in early April 2001. It featured the group as marble statues, awakening to life in a museum of art.

The music video for "Rivers of Joy" was the band's second video to be directed by Robert Bröllochs, following his contribution to "Daylight in Your Eyes." Just as the No Angels' debut single, scenes for the clip were choreographed by Detlef Soost and primarily filmed inside on-stage at the X-Sight-Studios in Groß-Gerau, Hesse in March 2001. While most of the video was shot in front of a white background, the video includes several computer animations based on bluescreen technique.
