No Me Queda Más
Single by Selena / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"No Me Queda Más" (English: There's Nothing Left For Me) is a song by Mexican-American singer Selena. It was written by Ricky Vela. Vela had fallen in love with Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla. He then found out she was married. Vela was angry at this and wrote down his feelings. Selena's brother and producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III, liked the idea of turning his words into a song. The song was then co-produced by Bebu Silvetti. It was for Selena's fourth album Amor Prohibido (1994). The song's lyrics are a reference to Vela's unreturned love.
