"Schick mir 'nen Engel" ("Send Me an Angel") is a song by German boy band Overground. Composed by the Triple–M collective, it was written by Mike Michaels, MM Dollar, Sammy Naja, O.K.A.N., and TK-Roxx and produced by Michaels, Dollar, Mark Tabak, and Naja for their debut studio album It's Done (2003). Following Overground's formation on the ProSieben reality television show Popstars – Das Duell, the song was released just one week later as the album's leading single on 10 November 2003.
Upon release, "Schick mir 'nen Engel" reached number one in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, becoming the third Popstars winner singles to debut atop the charts in all three territories. It spent two non-consecutive weeks at number one in Germany, achieving a gold certification from the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI).
Background "Schick mir 'nen Engel" was written by Mike Michaels, Mark "MM" Dollar, Mark Tabak, Sammy Naja, Jay "TK-Roxx" Khan and produced by Michaels, Dollar, Mark Tabak, and Naja for Overground's debut studio album It's Done (2003). Written late in the album's production process, when the majority of the record had already been completed, the song was composed only days before the album sessions concluded. It ultimately replaced "One for da Money" as the album's lead single.
