"Araw Mo" (Tagalog: Your Day) is a birthday song by Filipino singer Nina. It was released by Warner Music Philippines in June 2006. The song was written by Juan Ariel Coma, and produced by Neil Gregorio. It was originally recorded for the promotion of Goldilocks Bakeshop's 40th anniversary. Sales of the single entirely went to charity. Due to high demand and popularity, the song was included in the final track list of her self-titled fourth album as a bonus track. It was, since, considered as a Nina promo single.

"Araw Mo" was well received by music critics, due to the song's distinctive Filipino sound, but was however criticized for its melancholic tone. On March 6, 2007, "Araw Mo" was added to Nina's MP3 Downloads list on Amazon.com and iTunes.

Two sequential music videos were filmed for "Araw Mo", accompanying its physical release. Both videos have only one plot. The first version of the video shows Nina singing to the song, while sitting on a staircase and wearing green-blue blouse and jeans. It tells the story of a boy, who stayed the whole day in his apartment, but nobody even called or came by to greet him a "happy birthday". Later, Nina and his friends were seen coming out of an elevator, greeting him a "happy birthday", with a Goldilocks cake. The second version of the song's music video is a continuation of the first one, where all of the boy's friends are seen partying in his apartment. The song was played throughout 2006 and 2007 in every birthday celebration on ASAP.

After the success of her album, Nina Live!, Nina became an in-demand artist throughout 2005 to 2007. In February 2006, she was chosen to sing the theme song for GMA Films' film of that year, I Will Always Love You. In June 2006, Goldilocks Bakeshop launched a new advertisement for their fortieth anniversary. They chose Nina to be their new endorser, filming a commercial featuring the single.
