Songfacts®:

  • "Corazón de Piedra" translates as "heart of stone," and this sierreño kiss-off is an anthem for those who wear their breakups like a spiked leather jacket. Xavi puts on his emotional armor as his voice, sometimes dropping to a spine-tingling snarl as he details how he couldn't care less about his ex.
  • Xavi teamed up with his regular producer Alex Hernandez to craft this heartbreak anthem. The music is all driving beat and frenetic riffs on the requinto, a small guitar that helped propel Xavi's singles "La Diabla" and "La Victima" to international fame.
  • The music video captures the song's theme. While his ex tearfully packs her bags, Xavi throws a wild party in a ridiculously luxurious mansion. Forget moping, this guy's already surrounded by bikini-clad beauties ready to celebrate his newfound freedom.
