¡Basta Ya! (song)
1996 single by Olga Tañón
"¡Basta Ya!" (English: "Enough!") is a song by Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón from her fourth studio album, Nuevos Senderos (1996). The song was written and produced by Marco Antonio Solís. It was released as the lead single from the album in 1996. "A ballad, the song is about unrequited love and marked a musical departure from Tañón's merengue recordings. The song was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the 1997 Lo Nuestro Awards. Commercially, it topped both the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the United States. A music video for the song was filmed and features a couple's failing relationship.
"¡Basta Ya!" was later covered by both Conjunto Primavera in 2007 and by American singer Jenni Rivera. Conjunto Primavera's version also topped the Hot Latin Songs chart as well as the Regional Mexican Airplay chart in the US. Rivera recorded a pop and banda rendition of the song for her 12th and final studio albums, Joyas Prestadas (2011) with Solís performing alongside her. She recorded a music video for her cover in Los Angeles, California.
