In 2006, Magdangal reunited with Marvin Agustin in the series "I Luv NY", co-starring "Starstruck" winners Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras. Directed by Louie Ignacio, the series was publicized as "the first Philippine primetime TV soap to use a world-class location as its backdrop" with the majority of its episodes filmed in New York City. "I Luv NY" registered one of the most impressive pilot week ratings in the history of Philippine primetime television. In July of the same year, she released a special edition of her sixth studio album "Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Awit", launched earlier that year, to include the theme song of "I Luv NY", "Makulay Na Buhay". The album, under GMA Records, also produced the hits "Maybe It's You", "Gusto", and "Let Me Be The One", a collaboration with Janno Gibbs.
