Corazón Partío

The story behind

When Alejandro Sanz released Corazón partío in late 1997, he not only presented a new single but also unveiled a piece that would resonate for decades. This ballad, part of his fourth studio album, Más, became a phenomenon, remaining on the charts for over 70 weeks in countries like Spain, Mexico, and Argentina. The performance is notable for the special participation of Vicente Amigo on Spanish Guitar, adding a layer of depth and virtuosity to the composition. The production, handled by Alejandro Sanz along with Emanuele Ruffinengo and Miguel Ángel Arenas, and Pedro Miguel Ledo, laid the groundwork for a sound that would captivate audiences across diverse latitudes. The significance of Corazón partío is evident in the number of artists who have revisited it over the years. From versions like Julio Iglesias' in 2000 and Manny Manuel's in 1998, to more recent interpretations such as Lola Índigo's in 2019 for a television program, or the Pagode rendition by the Brazilian group "Menos é Mais" in 2024. Even in 2007, Sanz re-recorded it with Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo for his live album Multishow ao Vivo: Ivete no Maracanã. More recently, in February 2025, Mexican singer-songwriter Tito Double P released his own version in collaboration with Apple Music, titled CORAZÓN PARTÍO (Apple Music Sessions). The song, with a duration of 5:45, solidified itself as a milestone in Alejandro Sanz's career, demonstrating his ability to transcend genres and generations.
