"'Somos Nada'" is a song by American singer Christina Aguilera released as the second single from 'La Fuerza', the first part of her ninth studio and second Spanish-language album, 'Aguilera' (2022). The song was written by Aguilera, Federico Vindver, Mario Domm, Sharlene Taul, and produced by Jean Rodrguez. It was released by Sony Music Latin as the second single from the album on November 18, 2021. A music video was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Alexandre Moors.

Background and composition



"Somos Nada" is a "stripped-down piano-led nostalgic ballad that puts her deep, powerful tone at the forefront". The track was called a "signature" Aguilera song where she "delivers a raw and emotional performance". The song is about the search for love in the face of emptiness and flying on "glass wings". "Somos Nada" taps into emptiness, the universal theme of vulnerability and inner strength, courage and independence, faith in one's own abilities, taking risks in the face of difficulties. In the song, Aguilera sings about overcoming obstacles and trying to not lose faith in love. According to The Recording Academy, the song explores "how someone can simultaneously be your everything and nothing".

The song is written in the key of A minor, with a moderately slow tempo of 50 beats per minute. Aguilera's vocals span from C3 to D5.

Critical reception



"Somos Nada" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Aldo Magallanes of a daily newspaper 'El Siglo de Torren' called Aguilera's vocal performance "powerful" and noted that it "brings the lyrics to life in a way that only she knows how". According to the critic, the singer's voice perfectly captures "Somos Nada's" "depth, vulnerability, and intensity". 'Rolling Stone en Espaol' commented that "Aguilera dares to take risks with 'Somos Nada', her new song". Pip Ellwood-Hughes, a journalist for 'Entertainment Focus', said the song was "strong" and significantly different from 'La Fuerza's previous single, "Pa Mis Muchachas". Lucas Villa from 'Rolling Stone' said: "Aguilera weathers the elements and heartbreak to find her inner strength to move on". Writing for 'NEIU Independent', Enrique Cerros opined that "Aguilera is at her best when she can showcase her mezzo-soprano vocals without heavy, distracting beats", and "'Somos Nada' does exactly that".

Music video



The music video directed by Alexandre Moore and shot in Los Angeles was released on November 19, 2021.

It is the second installment of the album's visual storyline, a follow-up to the "Pa Mis Muchachas" video, where Aguilera found out her lover and business partner is betraying her.

She appears in the video with red hair and a black sheer negligee as she sings about being in pain in a relationship, but not giving up on love.

Live performances and cover versions



On November 19, Aguilera debuted the second single, "Somos Nada", at the 22nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards and performed it and "Pa' Mis Muchachas" alongside Becky, Nicole and Peluso. On December 7, 2021, Aguilera was honored with the first-ever Music Icon award at the 47th People's Choice Awards and performed a medley of hits, as well as "Somos Nada".

In July 2022, Dania Gonzlez made a cover of the song on the eleventh season of 'La Voz', a Mexican singing competition television series.
