Covers, Volume 2 is the 13th studio album by Filipino singer-actress Regine Velasquez, released on January 30, 2006 by Viva Records in the Philippines in CD format and in digital download. The album contains different music genres including jazz and blues which is new to Velasquez' repertoire. It is her third cover album from Viva after R2K (1999) and Covers, Vol. 1 (2004), and includes covers of songs by Al Green, Paul McCartney and Wings, Blondie and Alanis Morissette among others. The first single released is Hold Me In Your Arms originally done by the Southern Sons. The album was certified platinum a month after its release.

Covers, Vol. 2 is her last album from Viva Records Corporation after eight years with five full-length studio albums, four movie soundtracks, one live album, one extended play, and two compilation albums. This album also marked for her 20th anniversary in Philippine showbiz.

Most of the songs were personally handpicked by Velasquez herself together with her sisters Cacai Velasquez-Mitra, also her manager and Diane Velasquez-Roque which is also her associate producer for this album. All of the international songs were presented with new arrangements in various musical genres. The album was produced by Velasquez with Raul Mitra and co-produced by South Border's Jay Durias. According to Velasquez it was her most ambitious album to date because of innovative arrangements done with the songs but less expensive project than its predecessor, Covers, Vol. 1.
