R2K is the tenth studio album by Filipino singer-actress Regine Velasquez, released on November 24, 1999 by Viva Records in the Philippines in CD and cassette format and later as a digital download. The album is Velasquez' second from Viva Music Corporation after Drawn. It consists various covers of the past millennium's contemporary hits from the 1980s such as Jeffrey Osborne's "On the Wings of Love" to the 1990s such as Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". The album was produced by Velasquez and certified platinum in two weeks after its release with 40,000 units sold. It was certified 12x platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) but was never awarded by VIVA Records. R2K is Velasquez's most successful album both commercially and critically. It is the best-selling album by a female artist in Philippine history and stayed in record charts for a year.
R2K is Velasquez' third all-covers album after Tagala Talaga and Retro. She also featured actor Gabby Eigenmann and MTV Pilipinas VJ KC Montero to do a rap adlib for her song "For the Love of You". It also marked the first time a Philippine artist released an album with a VCD. The VCD contains six music videos done by Velasquez with director Louie Ignacio including "One Love" which features actors Antoinette Taus and Dingdong Dantes. It is also the first time in the Philippines that a limited edition 48-page colored magazine was released together with the album.
