"Your Guardian Angel" comes from Don't You Fake It, the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's 2006 debut for a major label, and it's a ballad, a mostly acoustic take on a song that first turned up, fully unplugged, as "The Acoustic Song" on the band's demo album. It was originally slated to be the lead single, Ronnie Winter has said, but the label judged a ballad too risky to go first and picked "Face Down" instead; this one went to radio as the third single in August 2007. David Bendeth produced it.
Winter has dedicated it to the eight students killed when a tornado destroyed a high school in Enterprise, Alabama, on March 1, 2007, and it became that school's prom theme that year. On the album it runs straight into the hidden track "The Grimm Goodbye".
