Background
Leitte went to New York in December 2013 where Jay Brown presented her the song, though she took almost two years to release it due to being hesitant at first about recording in Spanish. After making some adjustments in production and adding more Brazilian elements to the final mix, she decided to use the track.

Leitte and Yankee gave their first televised rendition of "Corazón" on The Voice Brasil, on December 19, 2015.

The video was shot in Praia Vermelha, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and between 15 and 16 December 2015. Shooting took between 10 and 23 hours. The renowned designer Giovanni Frasson was responsible for all of Leitte's costumes in the video. During an interview on Baiana FM on January 8, 2016, Leitte gave some details from the video, defining it as the sexiest of her career.
