Prince’s elegant, Spanish‑infused ballad — the first glimpse of the 3121 era, released before the album was even announced

THE STORY
Released digitally on December 13, 2005 (and physically shortly after), “Te Amo Corazón” served as the lead single from Prince’s album 3121 — even though no album title or release date had been announced at the time. The date itself (12/13) cleverly hinted at the forthcoming 3121 branding. A graceful, romantic ballad with Spanish influences, the track was accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Salma Hayek, filmed in Marrakesh.
CONTEXT & NOTES
“Te Amo Corazón” introduced the warm, sensual sound of the 3121 era. Notably, the standard CD single contained only one track with no B-side — a rarity in Prince’s catalogue. The release strategy combined digital-first distribution with traditional physical formats, reflecting Prince’s evolving approach in the mid-2000s. The song performed solidly on sales charts thanks to strong collector interest.
