All Good is the seventh studio album by Filipina singer Nina, released in the Philippines on January 23, 2013 by Viva Records. The album release was accompanied by the singer's comeback major concert at the Music Museum entitled Nina Reborn.[1][2][3][4] In May 2012, Nina announced her transfer to Viva right after the expiration of her contract with Universal where she released one album, Stay Alive, expressing her disappointment with the label for not promoting the album despite positive reception.[5] She later revealed working on a studio album which will have original songs and some covers. All Good consists of songs that were written by famous OPM composer Vehnee Saturno, 2013 Himig Handog runner-up Marion Aunor, Filipino boyband XLR8-member MJ Magno, and American songwriter Lori Barth.
The album was a critical acclaim, being praised for Nina's more mature sound with less vocal acrobatics. Journal stated "All Good is a suite of beautiful songs" while The Philippine Star commented that the album's purpose is "to empower its belief that [Nina] has more to offer as a recording artist." Nina Reborn also received positive reviews along with the album. The album has five cover versions, including "Perfect," "Mahal na Mahal Kita," "Hurting Inside," "Pinilit Kong Limutin Ka" (the Tagalog version of "I Still Believe in Loving You"), and "Don't Say Goodbye"—all originally performed by True Faith, Archie D., Vanna Vanna, Sarah Geronimo and Pops Fernandez. "Pinilit Kong Limutin Ka" was described as a "potential lead single for the album" by critics.
Prior to the release of All Good, Nina recorded her version of "Don't Say Goodbye" as theme song for 2012 romantic drama film A Secret Affair, where she had a cameo appearance. The song earned her ECG Allhits.ph Most Downloaded Artist and Most Download Song for 2013 on the 27th Awit Awards. "Sa Isang Tingin" was released in February 2013 as the lead single for All Good. The song was described as a "safe choice for radio airplay." Despite being released commercially, no music video was recorded for the song. This led fans to questioning Viva's marketing strategy. "Hurting Inside" was released as a promotional single in March 2013, accompanied by a lyric video posted on Viva's official YouTube page. "When the Love Is Gone" was used a theme song for the film of the same name in October 2013. Despite being an official single, the song's music video only consisted of scenes from the movie without the appearance of Nina.
