Background

edit

The song was conceived during a studio session with Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo in Madrid in January 2020 while Yatra jumped on the song in May, shortly after hearing the solo demo. This marks a second collaboration between the two since a still unreleased track meant to be on Yatra's second studio album Fantasía (2019), was recorded in late 2018.[3] During the summer of 2020, Aitana hinted a collaboration with a big Latin American singer for the second release of her upcoming album.[4] On September 26, a trio collaboration featuring Aitana, Yatra and Alejandro Sanz was registered on ASCAP.[5] Two days later, shortly after the Spanish singer scored a second Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, an initial teaser for "Corazón Sin Vida" was released on social media and YouTube.[6] With a second teaser being released the day after, the cover art and release date were revealed.[7]

Music video

edit

Due to international travel restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the music video had to be filmed remotely, with Aitana being in Madrid and Yatra being in Miami. It was directed by Pablo Hernández. It tells the story of a couple who break up but still can't get each other out of their mind.[8]
