"In the Ayer" is the third single from rapper Flo Rida's debut album Mail on Sunday. It was produced by and features will.i.am. Tiffany Villarreal performs background vocals on the song.[1] It interpolates the 1984 song "Jam the Box" by Pretty Tony.[1]

The song has been certified platinum by the RIAA, making it Flo Rida's second song to do so.

The official remix features Rick Ross, Brisco and Billy Blue with original chorus by will.i.am and new Flo Rida verses.

A year before the song was released, will.i.am was at Los Angeles's KIIS FM (102.7) doing a freestyle for Jojo Wright over the instrumental of "Easy" by Paula DeAnda. He described the freestyle as a "hot hook".[2] The beat production was done by Timbaland with the help of DJ Tweak from Lakeland, FL.[citation needed]
