"La Nena" is a song by American singer Becky G and Mexican singer Gabito Ballesteros. It was released by Kemosabe and RCA Records on June 28, 2023, as the second single from Gomez's third Spanish-language and first regional Mexican studio album, Esquinas.[2]
The song narrates the aftermath of a breakup. In the corrido tumbado, the artists sing about a girl who wants to forget about an ex-lover who didn't know how to value her and cheated on her. Gomez and Ballesteros describe "La Nena" as someone who is now glowing, even though her heart's crying, saying that she's "mejor sola que mal acompañada" (Eng. trans.: better alone than with bad company), a message also seen in Gomez's 2016 single "Sola", though it's unclear if she's speaking about her own experiences.[3]
