My Inspiration is a full-length studio album, released in the Philippines only, by Filipina singer Charice, released on May 1, 2009.[1] It is a concept cover album dedicated to her mother Racquel Pempengco. However, despite its ten cover versions (one of which is a remix), this second album by Charice features one original song (in both a single and extended version), called "Always You", written by the Metropop Song Festival and Awit Award-winning songwriter Jonathan Manalo. The album has been certified platinum.[2] Like her previous release, the album was also made available for digital download through Amazon.com MP3 Download on June 23, 2009.[3] Some package versions include a second CD, which features a karaoke version of every song, very popular in Asian countries.
