As the fourth single to reach Number One from Conley's album Don't Make It Easy for Me, "Angel in Disguise" made Conley the first artist in any genre to chart four Number One hits from the same album.^[2]

Video

A video was produced for the song, depicting a middle-aged man (Conley) fantasizing about being in a relationship with a beautiful woman; at the end of the video, he is visited by several of the women, including one who has shaved the sides of her head. The video was aired on The Nashville Network, CMT and Great American Country.

A video was also filmed for the single's B-side "Crowd Around the Corner." The video depicts an elderly man sneaking out of a retirement home to enjoy one last glimpse of life before dying.
