History
The program is named after the song "Maalaala Mo Kaya," originally by Constancio de Guzman. A version performed by Dulce was the program's theme until 2004, when it was replaced by Carol Banawa's cover. In 2021, JM Yosures' cover became the new theme. Dulce's version is still used in the final episode's closing credits.
In 2025, Tawag ng Tanghalan alumnus and The Voice US Season 26 grand champion Sofronio Vasquez and Tawag ng Tanghalan: The School Showdown grand champion Carmelle Collado sang the theme song for its limited series comeback.
