"City of Angels" is a song by American singer 24kGoldn. It was released as a single on March 31, 2020, peaking at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart and number 3 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100.

## Background

[edit]

The song's title refers the nickname of Los Angeles, City of Angels; Goldn explains during the chorus "the city of angels is where I have my fun".[3]

## Music video

[edit]

The video was directed by Nicholas Jandora and filmed in Los Angeles. Clear skies and swaying palm trees cut to roaring protestors on the picket line, and Goldn strides past them in a red suit, braids flying, to slide into a car with a couple of angels in the form of leggy women in feathery attire. Things go awry, a quick escape results in a car crash and he ends up in heaven.[4]

## Remix

[edit]

On May 19, 2020, English singer Yungblud shared a remix version of "City of Angels".[5]
