"Ikaw ang Aking Mahal" ("You Are My Love") is a song by VST & Company. Its lyrics were penned by songwriter Joey de Leon while the music was composed by Tito Sotto and bassist Spanky Rigor. Released on their debut album VST, the ballad has been recorded by many other Filipino artists. The B-side, the disco number "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko" ("You Sing and I'll Dance") is also one of the group's biggest hits. It is the last track on the group's debut album VST.[1]
Sotto said in an interview with Arnold Clavio that the single became a monster hit to rival Boyfriends' "Dahil Mahal Kita" ("Because I Love You").[citation needed]
