"再見不再見" (Pinyin: Zaijian Bu Zaijian, English: See You or Never) is a Mandopop song recorded by Malaysian singer-songwriter Shila Amzah for her 2016 debut Chinese album, My Journey. The song was written by Liao Yu and composed by Shila. It was released on May 28, 2015, by Shilala (HK) Limited. The writer of this song was inspired to write "See You or Never" after hearing Shila's sad love story: does she really want to leave her boyfriend or not. Shila said that this song was unique as the song doesn't have an ending (the song ended with "Zaijian Bu Zaijian", questioning herself again).
