Background

[edit]

Regine is Velasquez's first full studio album released after winning champion at RPN 9's Ang Bagong Kampeon singing competition. Although she recorded a song before the album titled "Love Me Again" released through OctoArts, but with her name "Chona Velasquez". However, in 1986, after performing in Martin Nievera's late night TV program "The Penthouse Live!" aired over GMA Radio Television Arts, Nievera suggested that she use her own name which is "Regine" than her nickname.[4][5] It was then that under new management with Ronnie Henares[6][7] got her a recording contract to Viva Records owned by Mr. Vic del Rosario. All of the songs in the album were produced by Ronnie Henares.[8] The song "Isang Lahi" was earlier used in the film Gabi Na, Kumander. "Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang" is also used as the theme song of the 1989 movie of the same title starring Maricel Soriano (under Regal Films) and later turned into a Friday segment of Teysi ng Tahanan, which aired by ABS-CBN from 1991 to 1997 hosted by Tessie Tomas.
