7 years ago today, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey released “Don’t Call Me Angel.”

Rumors about a three-way pairing between Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey started swirling in June 2019, after Cyrus liked an Instagram post hinting at the collaboration, followed by the official Charlie's Angels GIPHY account tagging all three artists directly. That speculation was confirmed with a teaser posted across each singer's social media on June 26, with the title, originally floated as simply "Angel" before landing on 'Don't Call Me Angel,' revealed by Grande that July. Max Martin and Ilya produced the track, recording it across MXM Studios in both Los Angeles and Stockholm along with Shangri-La in Malibu, with Grande, Cyrus, Del Rey, Savan Kotecha, and Alma-Sofia Miettinen sharing songwriting credit.

Blending pop and trap influences, the song served as the lead single from the soundtrack to the 'Charlie's Angels' reboot, directed by Elizabeth Banks and starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska. Del Rey later described the collaboration in an interview as coming together naturally, recalling that when she first heard it, only Grande's parts had been recorded, with her own and Cyrus's vocals layered in afterward. The accompanying video shows the three artists in an opulent manor, with Cyrus shown boxing and Del Rey practicing knife-throwing while Grande stands watch, tying the visual directly to the film's action-driven premise.

The song reached number one in six countries, including Greece, Hungary, and Israel, while cracking the top five in eleven others. Its release also arrived during an especially active stretch for all three artists, coming right after Del Rey's own 'Norman F***ing Rockwell!' and alongside Cyrus's newly released 'Slide Away' video, making 'Don't Call Me Angel' a genuine convergence point for three major pop careers all peaking at once that same season.
