In the "Ayer" video, Iglesias is pictured in a dark room illuminated by candlelight. As the video continues, Iglesias broken heart causes the stark room to go up in flames. The room starts to fill up with smoke as furniture burns behind Iglesias, however, the singer is so focused that he does not seem to notice.
