An official music video for "Angels like You" was released on March 8, 2021.[14] The video was recorded on February 7, 2021, at Cyrus' performance at the Super Bowl LV pre-game show. At the end of the video, Cyrus endorsed the COVID-19 vaccine.[15]

Despite minimal support from Cyrus's former label, the track has remained popular since its release, initially gaining moderate traction on Spotify thanks to the singer's Attention tour. Between January and July 2023, the song experienced a major resurgence, primarily on TikTok, which led it to spend many weeks in the top 20 on Global Spotify. As a result, 'Angels Like You' has become one of Cyrus's biggest streaming hits.

In November 2024, Cyrus appeared on an episode of Spotify's Billions Club: The Series, where she discussed the success of 'Angels Like You.' She shared, "Angels Like You is really all about the fans. It wasn't released as a single, it didn't have an official video. It was actually my first choice for the (lead) single from Plastic Hearts, but it wasn't selected at the time, and the fans made it happen."[16]

It later charted for weeks and reached new peaks in official charts such as the Billboard Global 200 (peaking at #73) and Billboard Global Excluding US (peaking at #43), as well as some other major markets such as Billboard Canada and Asian countries such as the Philippines, where it went #1, making Miley Cyrus the first ever female artist to reach the #1 spot on the Philippines’ official chart multiple times (twice), later joined by Blackpink and Taylor Swift.
