It consists of various covers of hits from the 1980's such as Jeffrey Osborne's "On the Wings of Love" to the 1990's such as Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing". The album was produced by Velasquez and sold more than 40,000 copies in its second week of release, earning a platinum certification,[5] and was certified four times platinum a year later.[6] R2K has since been certified twelve times platinum,[7] becoming the highest-selling album by a female artist in the Philippines.[8][9]
