Covers (Regine Velasquez album)

1) is the twelfth studio album by Filipino singer Regine Velasquez, released in the Philippines on October 20, 2004, by Viva Records.

[2] To date, the album has sold over 160,000 copies in the country, certified Quadruple Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI).

She said that she decided to come out with another revival album because "these songs are really beautiful and it will be a good idea to re-introduce them to the younger crowd".

[3][4] Velasquez considers Covers as the most expensive album she has ever made, due to the fact that the original composers of the songs secure the rights of their materials, that her record company had to pull some strings just get their permission.

She also admitted that as her study, she recorded the instrumental versions of all the tracks on a cassette tape, and played it in her car over and over again to know how she will perform the back-up vocals.

[3][4] "Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin" has personal resonance to both Velasquez and her former boyfriend Ariel Rivera, but she explains "that's not the reason why I chose the song".

She expressed falling in love with the song, when Louie Ocampo re-arranged it during her tenth anniversary concert held at University of the Philippines Diliman.

It was originally written for a male singer, but when Velasquez heard the song and got interested to it, she asked the composers, Raul Mitra and her sister Cacai, to lend it to her.
