“Angie” is a track from the Rolling Stones' album Goats Head Soup. It was written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards.

The song is about the end of a romance with a girl named Angie. In his 2010 memoir Life, Richards said that he had chosen the name at random when writing the song and that the song “was not about any particular person.” According to NME, Jagger’s contributions to the lyrics referred to his breakup with Marianne Faithfull.

An unusual feature on the song is that Mick Jagger’s vocal guide track (which was made before the final vocals were performed) is faintly audible throughout the song. This affect is sometimes called a “ghost vocal.”

“Angie” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in October of 1973. It also topped the charts in Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway and Switzerland.

In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at #5 on the U.K. Singles chart. It was certified Silver by the BPI.
