"However Much Love" is a song by Filipina singer Nina from her 2011 studio album Stay Alive. It was released as a radio-only Valentine single on January 30, 2012, and served as the second single from the album. The song was written and composed by Jude Gitamondoc, and produced by Ito Rapadas under Universal Records. It is the first ballad song in the album, and has an arrangement reminiscent to Nina's 2006 number-one hit "Someday". The song talks about unconditional love, wherein the protagonist narrates her everlasting feelings for her lover despite his dishonesty and deception.

"However Much Love" was a critical acclaim, being given overwhelming positive reviews and even noted as the album's highlight by OPM critics. Philippine Entertainment Portal called the song a "standout." Commercially, the song was a moderate success, peaking at number-one for three consecutive weeks, also becoming Nina's first chart-topper since "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" in 2008. The song was supposed to be released internationally, alongside the album but Universal canceled promotion for unknown reasons. It has been performed live by Nina in Stay Alive's album launch and in her 2012 pre-Valentine concert at the Music Museum entitled Update Your Status...

In the last quarter of 2010, Nina revealed that she was recording an all-original studio album and announced that it will be released in mid-January 2011, stating "I only have two cover songs in there and the rest are originals. It's going to be sexy-soul which is like singing from the soul but when you hear it, there's a degree of sexiness to it. That's me 'eh. I'm really a singer that sings from the soul, bonus na lang 'yung sexy na part [the sexy part is just a bonus]." However, the album was pushed back to a February release. In the February 2011 issue of Woman Today magazine, she expressed postponing the album release, again, scheduling it in June 2011. In May 2011, Universal Records' head executive Kathleen Dy-Go stated that Nina has not yet finished recording the album, which may result the release date to be pushed back—for the third time—to July or August. Nina later confirmed that the upcoming album will finally be released in the last week of September 2011, that her main goal is to create a different kind of music for her fans and that she does not expect for it [the album] to be a huge hit. Despite the announcement, the album—which was later revealed to be entitled Stay Alive—was not released until November 19, 2011.
