Love Duets is a full-length English-language debut duet album by the Filipino TV host, actress, and singer Toni Gonzaga (her fifth album over all) and the Filipino-American actor, singer, songwriter and model Sam Milby (his third album), both under the management of Star Records. The album was released on February 20, 2009, in the Philippines[1] in CD and digital download formats and made available in many online stores like in iTunes Philippines[2] and Amazon.com.[3]

The first single from the album, "If Ever You're in My Arms Again", became a mainstream hit and entered many Philippine charts, including the Philippines Top 40 Hits, where it reached the number 2 spot. The track was also used as the theme song of the film My Big Love, produced by Star Cinema, in which Gonzaga and Milby play the lead roles.[4] The second single, "Suddenly", received only limited airplay.
