Maluma unveils “Con el Corazón,” his first-ever collaboration with Yeison Jiménez, and the first posthumous release following Jiménez’s unexpected death on Jan. 10 in Boyacá, Colombia. He was 34.
The ranchera song not only stands as a new anthem for the men who admit they are “un patan” (a jerk) and a moving tribute to Jiménez, but it also marks a long-awaited union between the Latin urban artist and late música popular colombiana star. As Jiménez tells Maluma in the music video himself: “You have no idea how many years I waited for this moment, thank God!”
Co-written by Maluma and Jiménez, alongside Jonathan Rivera, Giancarlos Rivera, José Daniel Zapata, and Ily Wonder, and co-produced by Maluma and MADMUSICK, “Con el Corazón” is backed by acoustic guitar strings intertwined with a soaring accordion, creating a vibrant tapestry of norteño-popular rhythms while spotlighting lyrics about a person who’s not going to change their antics in a relationship.
“Seems like you forgot about the man who changed your life/ wanting to keep me behind closed doors/ if you meet me at a bar […] don’t make me change the past/ I was like this since day one,” goes the chorus.
The official music video—recorded on Dec. 10, just one month before an airplane crash claimed the lives of six people, including Jiménez and his manager, Jefferson Osorio—shows Jiménez’s joyful spirit, magnetic charm and relentless passion that fueled his dreams, as well as never-before-seen concert clips and the supportive camaraderie he had with his team.
