Nina Sings the Hits of Diane Warren is the fourth studio album by Filipino singer Nina, released in the Philippines on July 25, 2008 by Warner Music. It is a cover album consisting of Nina's renditions of familiar love songs written by American songwriter Diane Warren. The idea behind the release of the album started after the success of her single "I Don't Want to Be Your Friend" in 2004, which was initially recorded for Warren's love songs compilation.
Upon release, the album received negative response from critics, most reviewers pointing out the over-singing and lack of emotion. Despite criticisms, the album proved to be a commercial hit, certifying gold by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) on September 1, 2008. It was considered to be a late awarding, since the album sold enough for a gold certification in its first week of commercial release. It has sold over 30,000 units and has been awarded Platinum by the PARI to date. The album has been released internationally, mostly in South-East Asian countries. However, Warner failed to promote it in the mentioned territories because they were busy promoting Charice's self-titled 2010 album.
Two singles were commercially released off the album. "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", an Aerosmith original, was the first single. It featured a mellow arrangement and soft vocal delivery, entirely opposite to the original arrangement. The song became a chart-topping hit and is considered to be one of Nina's trademark singles. "There You'll Be" was released as a follow-up single. Nina personally chose the song, and considers it as a "Thank You" to her fans who were always there to support her. "Saving Forever for You" was released to radio in 2009 as a promo single to boost up album sales.
