Production

Development
Molina brainstormed the story back in 2009. In 2011, Star Cinema offered the main protagonists to Cruz and Locsin after their primetime TV Series that aired on ABS-CBN, Imortal. ÜnOfficially Yours was first announced in the now defunct showbiz news program, SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon. The film's tentative title was I Honestly Love You and later changed to ÜnOfficially Yours. The film's principal photography started September 21, 2011, in Batangas and in the headquarters of the Manila Bulletin in Manila. Promotion
The full trailer was released during the previews of the Enteng Ng Ina Mo and Segunda Mano, films also produced by Star Cinema. The full trailer was televised on January 29, 2012, during Locsin and Cruz's guesting on the talk show, Gandang Gabi, Vice!. As a result, it became a worldwide trending topic on the social networking site, Twitter. The film became the front page cover of the February 15, 2012, issue of the Manila Bulletin during its premiere day. Music
The film's official soundtrack is "If You Asked Me To" originally sung by Patti LaBelle, and was covered by Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto. The song's music video was released on Star Cinema's official YouTube account. Reception
