Enrique Iglesias has suicidal thoughts in the dramatic music video for his latest single "Heart Attack," the second English single and overall the third single from the Latin star's upcoming as-yet-untitled second bilingual album and tenth of his career, due in stores in early 2014 via Universal Republic. The new visual ties in perfectly with the meaning of the song. There's Iglesias, standing perilously overlooking a scary drop!
The latest offering from the 38-year-old singer is a thrilling pop number with piano-driven verses and dubstep breakdowns. "Heart Attack" will get your heart pumping. Iglesias describes the dubstep-infused track as a more serious song for him. And with lyrics like, "I thought I never want you back / But I don't wanna live in a world without you," we can't help but notice it's the typical cycle for both men and women when it comes to relationships. In the midst of the break-up drama and reports, could this be an anthem written for Iglesias' now ex-girlfriend, tennis star Anna Kournikova?
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest, the Grammy Award-winning singer explained the writing process, he said: "I don't know why we do that. I think both girls and guys, we do that to ourselves. But it's happened to all of us and it's a story we can all relate to and you think you've learned your lesson and it can happen over and over and over again. The way I look at music and write songs, it's like when you go to the movies, and some songs are more real and some songs are more fantasy."
The video treatment drives the melodrama home, in a slick Colin Tilley-directed clip that was shot in both Santa Barbara and El Lay, and sees 'When a Stranger Calls' actress Camilla Belle playing the leading female role as Iglesias' love interest in a very dramatic relationship storyline, which traces the highs and lows of a couple's relationship. As the Spain-born singer walking into a shameful bed scene of Belle and her lover. A furious Iglesias, who obviously doesn't like getting cheated on, hits the dude and throws him to the ground. A heart-broken Iglesias' emotions then go from anger to despair, as he heads to a bridge, stands on the edge and thinks suicide. There's a band, performing up there with him in front of an intense smoke machine. It's all just so emotional.
