Background
After signing with Lava Records in late 2004, the band released a three-track EP, Angel to You on April 25, 2005. The EP contains the title track, "Pop Princess" and "Say Goodnight", which ended up selling 10,000 copies.Composition
"Angel to You " was written by Ben Romans and Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, while production was handled by Mike Denneen. According to lead guitarist Joe Guese, the collaboration came when they met Stanley at a Thanksgiving dinner in 2003. They were finishing up writing songs for Greetings from Imrie House, when someone came up with the idea of Romans writing a song with Stanley. The band's touring manager knew Stanley and he expressed interest in working with the group. Romans flew out to Los Angeles to work with Stanley and it was written in his home studio. The song also features Elliot Easton of the Cars, who played the guitar solo on the track.Personnel
