In 2001, she released her first single titled Never. Never ended becoming Perez' first charting single in her career, peaking at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100. In April 2002, she released her first album titled Where You At?, under the independent label, Powerhouse Records. Although the album did not chart on the Billboard 200, it was hit in the eastern part of the United States, and made her a local celebrity in her hometown. It also brought the attention of Virgin Records, who signed her later that year and decided to release a re-worked version of Where You At? nationally.
In 2003, the re-worked version of the album, this time titled Angel, was released nationally. It peaked at #73 on Billboard 200, and spawned two singles, Angel and I Like It. Angel was released as the first single from the album, and peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first and only Top 20 single. Her second single, I Like It did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but became a club and urban hit for Perez.
In 2004, Perez released her third album titled I Pray. The album peaked lower than her previous album, peaking at #90 on the Billboard 200, and only one single was released from the album. The single, I Pray, failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first single to fail to chart.
In 2007, Perez released her fourth album titled The Hand of Fate. The album peaked at #38 on the Billboard 200.

Left without a word and nothing to say (nothing to say)
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, no
So I asked God
God, send me an angel
From the heavens above
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry (is cry)
God, send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes
And I know it might sound crazy
But after all that, I still loved you
You wanna come back in my life
But now there's somethin' that I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored
That they can't have my love no more
'Cause my heart can't take no more lies
And my eyes are all out of cries
So, God
God, send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry (all I do is cry)
God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
To wipe the tears from my eyes
Now you had me on my knees
Begging God please to send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
And you made me feel like I could not breathe
When I, all I wanted to do was feel your touch
And to give you all of my love (give you all of my love)
But you took my love for granted
Want my lovin' now, but you can't have it
Oh, God
God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love (oh, oh, God)
'Cause all I do is cry (is cry)
God, send me an angel (send me an angel)
To wipe the tears from my eyes
Oh, oh, God, send me (God, send me an angel)
An angel, oh, I'm begging you God (wipe the tears from my eyes)
Send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my heart (God, send me an angel)
From being in love (send me an angel)
Oh, God, send me an angel
Send me an angel (send me an angel)
Oh, oh, God

Single father raising two kids alone. I remember when my ex first left us I literally felt like I wanted to die. My kids were sad and broken from her taking off and I was torn apart too. This song helped me find my way to Jesus. For once in my life all my worries and anxiety are no longer affecting me as I surrender it all to God. He is closest in our darkest times, if we allow him to be. May God bless and heal whoever needs it.
