Never been any good at love
Never could find no one that I dreamed of
I must've been too blind to see
That you were always there waiting for me
But then the spell was broken, my eyes opened
Starting believing in love again
Just when i gave up on miracles
You rescued me and showed me the way
CHORUS:
You must be an angel
Feels like I've gone to heaven
And it keeps on getting better baby
Caught up in your love spell
Feels like I'm in heaven, heaven
Never thought I'd see the day
A special guy like you would come my way
I wish I knew the reasons why
You gave me the strength for one more try
How could love at first sight
Work out so right
I cant believe this is paradise
Just when I thought love would never come
You came to me swept me away
You must be an angel
Feels like I've gone to heaven
And it keeps on getting better baby
Caught up in your love spell
Feels like I'm in heaven, heaven
BRIDGE:
Suddenly my whole world changes
I found the kind of love that I've been thinking of
I know that dreams come true 'coz
My heaven is waiting to take me
Take me when I'm with you
Never could find no one that I dreamed of
I must've been too blind to see
That you were always there waiting for me
But then the spell was broken, my eyes opened
Starting believing in love again
Just when i gave up on miracles
You rescued me and showed me the way
CHORUS:
You must be an angel
Feels like I've gone to heaven
And it keeps on getting better baby
Caught up in your love spell
Feels like I'm in heaven, heaven
Never thought I'd see the day
A special guy like you would come my way
I wish I knew the reasons why
You gave me the strength for one more try
How could love at first sight
Work out so right
I cant believe this is paradise
Just when I thought love would never come
You came to me swept me away
You must be an angel
Feels like I've gone to heaven
And it keeps on getting better baby
Caught up in your love spell
Feels like I'm in heaven, heaven
BRIDGE:
Suddenly my whole world changes
I found the kind of love that I've been thinking of
I know that dreams come true 'coz
My heaven is waiting to take me
Take me when I'm with you

About"Heaven" is a song by Filipino singer Nina from her 2002 debut album of the same name. It was released as the album's first commercial single, and her first single as an artist, in August 2002 along with the album by Warner Music Philippines. The song was written by Brett Laurence and Gary Haase, and produced by Ferdie Marquez. The song is heavily influenced by the international urban sound, and Nina is one of the first pop-R&B artists to have entered the Philippine music scene. It was considered to be risky for Warner to release, since OPM music at that time focuses on ballads and love songs, making the song a rare record during its release.
Upon release, the song and the album were met with critical acclaim, with most critics pointing out the international sound and smooth production as well as Nina's wide vocal range. Manila Bulletin described it as "a groovy breakthrough, boasting of an international-sounding music and voice, sung by a young Filipina talent". It was not a huge commercial hit, but it enabled Nina to breakthrough the music scene. On August 20, 2002, the song was made available on digital download through iTunes and Amazon.com MP3 Download on January 23, 2007.
At seventeen, Nina became a vocalist of the XS, The Big Thing, MYMP, Silk and lastly, the Essence. After college, she recorded an amateur demo CD with the help of a friend. It was composed of three tracks, including the Steve Perry song "Foolish Heart", "Breathe Again" and "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", recorded in a home studio with only a guitar for accompaniment. After listening to the demos, Warner Music managing director at that time, Ricky Ilacad wanted to sign her up even without seeing or hearing her in person. Two months after her father died of heart attack in the United States, she signed her first contract with Warner Music. Under the direction of Warner managing head Ilacad, foreign songwriters and arrangers from the United States and Korea, including Shelly Peiken and Brett Laurence, were hired for the production of the album. The album is heavily influenced by jazzy lounge pop-R&B and composed of songs that are reminiscent to the sound of international records at that time.
The song was released in the third quarter of 2002, and proved risky for Warner Music to breakthrough an artist such as Nina who is extremely influenced with R&B. The song was considered to be one of the first R&B-hip-hop inspired tracks in the Philippine music scene, which was rare for Filipino acts at that time. The song was not a commercial hit, but it exposed Nina's potential in the music scene.
"Heaven" is Nina's first music video as an artist. It was directed by filmmaker Avid Liongoren. The video for "Heaven" is considerably plotless. It depicts Nina in a series of beauty shots, singing as there are special effects introduced in the music video. Blue animated background can be seen moving and in transition behind her.
A remix version was commissioned by Warner Music to boost up promotion of the single. The remix features label mate Artstrong, who contributed a rap verse, which he wrote himself. Retaining the same melody and lyric, the song differed in beat and rhythm, becoming heavily inspired by dark, hip-hop beats, distancing from music similar to fellow contemporaries like Kyla and Arnee Hidalgo. Additional footage from Artstrong and Nina were included to differentiate the original version from the remix version.
