La historia de The Black Eyed Peas se remonta a mediados de la década de 1990, cuando los talentosos músicos will.i.am (William Adams) y apl.de.ap (Allan Pineda Lindo) se conocieron en Los Ángeles. Ambos compartían una pasión por la música hip-hop y rápidamente comenzaron a colaborar. La primera alineación se completó con Taboo (Jaime Luis Gómez) y Kim Hill como corista.
Inicialmente, el grupo fue conocido como Atban Klann y firmaron un contrato con Ruthless Records, una discográfica fundada por el legendario Eazy-E. Sin embargo, después de la prematura muerte de Eazy-E en 1995, el álbum que habían grabado fue archivado y el grupo cambió su nombre a The Black Eyed Peas.
En 1998, The Black Eyed Peas lanzó su álbum debut titulado Behind the Front, con la colaboración de la cantante Macy Gray. El álbum fue bien recibido por la crítica y ayudó a establecer una base de fans leal. Su segundo álbum, Bridging the Gap, lanzado en 2000, continuó en la misma línea y aumentó su reconocimiento en la industria.
A pesar de su creciente popularidad, Kim Hill decidió dejar el grupo, lo que llevó a la incorporación de Fergie (Stacy Ann Ferguson) en 2002. Esta incorporación marcó un hito en la carrera de la banda, elevándolos a nuevas alturas.
Con Fergie en la formación, The Black Eyed Peas lanzó su tercer álbum, Elephunk, en 2003. Este álbum fue un éxito internacional,

Ever since I was a baby girl I has a dreams
Cinderella theme
Crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come that day
But I would have to wait
Make so many mistakes
I couldn't comprehend
As I watched it unfold
This classic story told I left it in the cold
Walking through unopened doors that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
(chorus)
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
I remember the beggining you already knew
I acted like a fool
Just trying to be cool
Frontin' like it didn't matter
I just ran away
Put on another face
Was lost in my own space
Found what it was like to hurt selfishly
Scared to give up me
Afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the mess that I had made
Finally got out of my own way
I Finally started living for today
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has my soul
(chorus)
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Gave my love to him Finally
Finally, Finally
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something beautiful is happening, is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Ohhhhhhh, Finally, finally, Finally
