King's major success began in the 1960s when she and her first husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many of which have become standards, for numerous artists. She has continued writing for other artists since then. King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years.
King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree.

Corazón mi corazón

Corazón mi corazón

Espero que tu me quieras también

Corazón
The Spanish words "corazón mi corazón" translate to "heart my heart", and this phrase is repeated frequently throughout the song to express the depth of the singer's emotions. The song is a love song, as evidenced by the repeated phrase "yo te quiero" which means "I love you" in Spanish.
The singer hopes that their love will be returned, as expressed through the line "espero que tu me quieras también" which means "I hope that you love me too". The repetition of "ayúdame mi corazón" can be interpreted as the singer asking their heart to guide them towards love and help them through any difficulties in their relationship.
The overall theme of the song is expressing deep love and devotion, and hoping that it is reciprocated. Carole King's simple yet powerful lyrics are enhanced by the use of Spanish which adds a layer of passion and romance to the song.
