Renz Verano released his fourth album,
Basta't Mahal Kita (As Long as I Love You), in 2000.
Verano's previous albums consisted entirely of slow-moving ballads, and the latest album is more of the same. Some ballads are less intense than before and can be called easy listening love songs. As before, the album contains covers of international songs, but this time two of the three covers use the original English lyrics, and only one follows
Verano's prior practice of using new lyrics written in Tagalog, the Philippines' national language. The remaining adaptation was originally written by an Asian writer.
