Elle'ments is the debut studio album by German pop group No Angels, released by Polydor's sublabel Cheyenne Records on 12 March 2001 (see 2001 in music) in German-speaking Europe. It was primarily produced by Thorsten Brötzmann, with additional production from Peter Ries and Leslie Mandoki. The album yielded the record-breaking number-one single "Daylight in Your Eyes," and produced another three singles, including "When the Angels Sing" and a remake of Eurythmics' 1985 single "There Must Be an Angel."

Elle'ments was a smash-hit in Central Europe, where it was eventually certified platinum in Austria and Switzerland, and 7×Gold in Germany. It spawned another two versions, including a Special Winter Edition (2001) and a limited Karaoke Edition (2001) and spent seventy-four weeks within the German Top 100 Albums Chart, eventually ranking first on the German year-end chart of 2001.
