This song catapulted Corona to global stardom, earning her 15 gold and platinum records and establishing her as a queen of dance music.

Several more hits followed quickly, including “Baby Baby,” “Try Me Out,” and “I Don’t Wanna Be a Star.” In 1996, she hosted the popular Festivalbar in Italy and then Dance Machine in France the following year, reinforcing her international success.

In 1998, she released the album “Walking on Music,” followed by “And Me U” in 2000. In 2004, she paid tribute to her Brazilian roots with “A cor dos teus olhos” and “Garota Brasileira.” She continued exploring diverse musical styles while collaborating with various international labels.

During the 2010s, she remained active with the album “Y Generation” (2010/2011), featuring a mix of pop, rock, and dance, followed by “Queen of Town” in 2013 and singles like “Super Model” and “We Used to Love” in 2015–2016.
