Are you certain about the spelling of the adjective? Perhaps an explanation of how the term is used would help.

ñoño-ña adj drippy (colloq), wet (BrE colloq)

drippy, revoltingly sentimental; mawkish: another drippy love story.

Canción ñoña = drippy song

I would never say "drippy song", though I would say "sappy song". Depending the context, I might also say "saccharine", implying sweet, but fake or overdone.

Yet, you can find a bunch of "drippy songs" googling it, and in YouTube...
