¡Basta Ya! (song)

is a song by Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón from her fourth studio album, Nuevos Senderos (1996).

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.

[1] In November 1995, Tañón announced that she had finished recording an album of ballads with Mexican singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís, the former lead vocalist of Los Bukis, producing it and composing all but one of the tracks.

[3] According to Tañón, she wanted to record an album of ballads because of her originally performing under that genre prior to singing merengue as well as a desire to collaborate with Solís.

[8] A music video was made for the song, which shows a couple's relationship deteriorating before the lead actress leaves her lover.

[9] The Dallas Morning News critic Mario Tarradell felt that the song "summarizes" Tañón's "creative departure in four minutes".

[7] At the 9th Annual Lo Nuestro Awards in 1997, it was nominated in the category of Pop Song of the Year,[10] but lost to "Experiencia Religiosa" by Enrique Iglesias.

[18][19] Conjunto Primavera delivered a performance of the song during 2008 in Chihuahua, Mexico, which was later released on their live album En Vivo (2010).

[23] The music video for Rivera's version was directed by Ricardo Moreno and filmed in Los Angeles, California.

[24] A live version of the song was recorded at the Teatro de la Ciudad in Mexico City for the deluxe edition of Joyas Prestadas, which was released on August 28, 2012.
