"Corazón Sin Cara" (English: "Love is Blind," literally "Heart Faceless") is a bachata song by American singer-songwriter Prince Royce. It was written and composed by Prince Royce, and produced by Andrés Hidalgo and Sergio George. The song's lyrical content deals with the self-esteem of girls and their appearance. The song also includes violins and cellos, which Royce notes aren't normally used in bachata music.

The song was released as the second single from Prince Royce in the United States in early February 2010, by Top Stop Music. The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Tropical Songs chart, and a year later after its official release, reached number one on the US Billboard Latin Songs chart, becoming Royce's first number one song the chart. It was named the best-selling Latin single of 2011 by Billboard. The music video was directed by Danny Hastings and the theme of the video shows Royce appreciating a woman the way she is.

"Corazón Sin Cara" was written and composed solely by Prince Royce, produced by Andrés Hidalgo and Sergio George and co-produced by Royce and D'Lesly "Dice" Lora. In an interview with nocheLatina, Royce was asked to describe the lyrics of the song. He said that it is about "girls who always wear makeup or think they're fat or they're ugly...it's not all about the materialistic things and the image. It's not just about that." "Corazón Sin Cara" is a bachata song featuring "elegant" string arrangements. Royce pointed out the inclusion of instruments on the song such as violins and cellos, noting that such instruments are not normally used in bachata music. The final ten seconds of the track transition into heavier urban beats.

Chris Ryan of MTV said that the song "will evoke hot, uptown summer nights". While Allmusic's Jason Birchmeier commended Andrés Hidalgo for the "crisp production job." He noted the final ten seconds saying, "It's not until those final ten seconds that the urban beats kick in after three and a half minutes of more or less typical bachata graced with an elegant string arrangement." By late February 2011, "Corazón Sin Cara" was the most requested song in Latin radio in the United States.
