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.

You know with each day that passes by, I pray to god I'll never forget who you are. You mean everything to me.
I LOVE YOU...
Oooooooooh Oooooooooh
Ooh I pray, mmmmmmm
You were in my dream,
Now I can't wait to see your smile,
When I wake up each day,
It makes it worth while,
With the kinda love you plant inside,
Especially with a heart so empty as mine.
All your soft tenderness, is the one thing that I don't wanna miss.
I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll never forget, looking in your eyes,
I pray,
That I feel your touch
And that God doesn't forget our love,
I pray,
When I close my eyes,
I can still see visions of you, on my mind.
I pray,
That I see you in another life,
I pray that you're still by my side.
Oh I pray.
Everything that you give to me,
Only comes in a fantasy,
It seems like life goes so fast,
But in this time I wanna make it last. (I pray)
I hate that we live to die,
But only God knows why (I pray)
We all have a purpose,
And to see you again It'll all be worth it.
I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll never forget, looking in your eyes,
I pray,
That I feel your touch
And that God doesn't forget our love,
I pray,
When I close my eyes,
I can still see visions of you, on my mind.
I pray,
That I see you in another life,
I pray that you're still by my side.
Oh I pray.
I wish that I could stop time,
I wish that I could rewind,
To the very begining of every second of my life.
To ask God on my hands and knees,
To never let me forget, all my special memories.
See I'm only promised today,
And if it's my time to go,
I don't want the love of my life, to ever fade away,
So one last time,
Let me open my eyes.
To see, what my life used to be like.
Oh God.
I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll never forget, looking in your eyes,
I pray,
That I feel your touch
And that God doesn't forget our love,
I pray,
When I close my eyes,
I can still see visions of you, on my mind.
I pray,
That I see you in another life,
I pray that you're still by my side.
Oh I pray.
