# Ya No Somos Ni Seremos

"Ya No Somos Ni Seremos" (English: "Now We Aren't or Will Ever Be") is a song by Mexican musician Christian Nodal. Written by Nodal and Edgar Barrera, it was released on February 18, 2022 via Sony Music Latin as the second single from Nodal's second extended play, Forajido (2022). The track peaked at number one on the Hits of the World Mexico Songs chart and debuted at number eight on the Hot Latin Songs.

## Background

Following the release of his third studio album, Ayayay! (2020), Christian Nodal and his parents were sued by his then-record label, Universal Music Latin Entertainment for accounts of fraud. He later announced on social media that he was dropping Universal Music Latin as his record label, stating, "Many fans are worried with what's happening with me and my career these past few days... I don't have a contract with Universal. Universal didn't want me to leave but I've given them five years of my work and I did what I was supposed to do. I worked hard giving my 100%". Nodal thereafter signed to Sony Music Latin, with "Ya No Somos Ni Seremos" being his first release via the label.

## Reception

The song received mainly positive reception upon release. Griselda Flores of Billboard described Nodal's performance as "sorrowing over his heartbreak", stating, "penned by Nodal and his go-to songwriter Edgar Barrera finds the 23-year-old artist narrating the ultimate end of a love story. 'I wanted to cover my face with tattoos to cover up the kisses you left behind,' he sings with pathos." El Universal referred to the track as "[something] that many fans of Nodal assure fits like a glove".
The song was nominated for three awards; it was nominated for both Best Regional Mexican Song at the 2022 Premios Juventud, and was nominated for Regional Mexican Song of the Year and for Mariachi/Ranchera Song of the Year at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2023, with it winning the latter.

## Commercial performance

The song was a commercial success, entering the Hits of the World charts in multiple Latin American countries and becoming Nodal's first, and currently only, number-one entry on the Billboard Mexico Songs chart. It debuted at number four on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart after receiving about 1,000 streaming downloads upon release. The song also notably became Nodal's highest debuting single on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart as a solo act, peaking at number eight. It also became Nodal's fourth entry on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, peaking at number three.
