Maria Amapola Cabase, Amapola's music career began when she sang the love theme "Guihigugma Ko Ikaw" for the Azucena Pictures film Utlanan. The song "Kapantay Ay Langit" on YouTube sung by Amapola and composed by George Canseco, won the Manila Film Festival "Gabi Ng Parangal" (Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Award) song of the year award. It was later popularized by singer Pilita Corrales which eventually became her signature song. Amapola was awarded the key to Cebu City by then Governor Manuel Cuenco to celebrate her work as Toy Orchestra Conductor, making her the youngest person ever to receive the honor. The event was held at Cebu City's DYRC-Radio, attended by Cebu Normal School (now Cebu Normal University) Military Toy Orchestra, conductor Amapola and director Coronada Pingol, the CNS Toy Orchestra creator.

Since the 1970s, Amapola has performed jazz and popular music. She has headlined in venues such as The Sahara Hotel and The Union Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, Stern Grove in San Francisco, The Town Hall in New York, The Grand Hotel in Washington DC, and The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. In 1979, Amapola's band, Amy and the Sounds, featuring her father, Mahnee Cabase on the keyboards, were commissioned as the house band at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

In the 1980s, Amapola won a number of awards for her music, such as the Awit Award for Best Female Singer and Best Vocal Performance. In 1984, she was inducted into the Tinig Awards Hall of Fame for her contributions to the Filipino entertainment industry in the Philippines and abroad, appearing in numerous local presentations in California for the Filipino community.

On November 13, 1971, Billboard released news that Amapola started her recording contract with Vicor Music Corporation. Formerly with D'Swan Records and winning her first Awit Awards as Best Female Singer in the Vernacular, Amapola signed on with Vicor to record her first two hit singles, "Secret Love" and "Never". The aforementioned singles anchored the Gold hit Songs and Amapola under the Pioneer record label. Amapola held the title of Philippine Jukebox Queen in the early 70s.

Amapola's first compilation album, Songs and Amapola was released under the Pioneer Label of Vicor Music Corporation and included all of Amapola's 1971–72 hit singles.[4] All tracks were written and performed by D'Amarillo and his orchestra. Vocal Coach: Phillip Maninang. The album's back cover featured George Canseco's poem: "Ode To Amapola"
