Selena Quintanilla's family released a never-before-heard track from the late singer.

The song titled "Oh No (I'll Never Fall in Love Again)" was recorded before the "Dreaming of You" singer was killed 20 years ago, Fox News Latino reported.

"Recently we have had a lot of fans ask for a song by the name of 'Oh No (I'll Never Fall in Love Again)' by Selena. The song was never recorded professionally but we found a tape where they're in rehearsal someplace and they recorded the rehearsal," her father, Abraham Quintanilla, said before the track played, as quoted by Fox News Latino.

He continued, "The reason we never released it as one of her songs is because it's not up to par as far as sound is concerned but years later my son A.B. recorded it with the Kumbia Kingz... we thought that the fans would enjoy it even though it's not a professional recording."

The song can be heard on a Facebook fan page for Quintanilla. You can also check it out on SelenaQRadio.com.

Quintanilla died at the age of 23 in the hands of Yolanda Saldivar on March 31, 1995 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Saldivar, the president of the artist's fan club, is currently serving a life sentence in prison. Quintanilla passed away before finishing her English crossover and sixth album "Dreaming of You," which was released on July 18, 1995, Billboard wrote.

In April, Nevada-based Acrovirt LLC announced on Facebook that a hologram of the recording artist "will release new songs and videos, will collaborate with current hit artists, and aims to go on tour in 2018." The digitized project is called "Selena the One," a walking, talking, singing, and dancing digital incarnation of the queen of Tejano music.

This year's Billboard Music Awards showcased Jennifer Lopez performing a musical tribute to Quintanilla. Reflecting about the late singer's legacy, Lopez told Billboard that Selena "moved the world in a different way." The "Dance Again" singer had her breakthrough role in Hollywood by portraying Quintanilla on the big screen eighteen years ago.

"People like that don't come along every day," Lopez told the news outlet. "There is never going to be another Selena. The grace with which she handled the business, the grace with which she handled her life, the humor. Her spirit of loving what she did. Her sense of family. That's the tragedy of everything that happened and why she left such an imprint -- because she was gone way too soon."

In addition, MAC Cosmetics announced in July that Quintanilla will be getting her own makeup line to be released in the later part of 2016, according to a separate report from Billboard.
