"I'll Always Love You" was covered by Filipino pop/R&B singer Nina in February 2006 under Warner Music Philippines. The song was recorded for the promotion of GMA Films' 2006 romantic movie I Will Always Love You, starring Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin.[1] The film was released on February 8, 2006 as a valentine offer of GMA Films.[2]
In 2010, the song was included on Nina's compilation album, Diamond: Greatest Hits 2002-2010.
Music video
The music video for "I'll Always Love You" was directed by Jessel Monteverde. The video had a heavy use of visual special effects, becoming Nina's second music video to be made mostly of animations (the other being "Loving You"). Most of the scenes show animated backgrounds and setting.
The video starts with pictures wherein a photo of Nina walking on the street is slowly zoomed, as the image inside the picture starts moving. She suddenly stopped and leaned on a wall. A scene where she is singing to the song, while a colorful background is moving behind her, suddenly appears. She is then shown walking on the streets of San Francisco, California, where other people stroll as well (but in a fast-forward motion). The part where she is seen walking fades, and scenes from the movie suddenly appears. She is then shown singing to the song, while being inserted into the actual scenes of the film.[3]
