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,

Get It Started
Let's get it started in here.......
And the bass keeps runnin, runnin and runnin runnin'
And runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'
And runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin, and runnin' runnnin'
And.....
In this context, there's no disrespect
So when i bust my rhyme, you break ya necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect and let the rhythm effect
Obstacles and inhibition follow your intuiton
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
Cause when we be out, girlies pull the heat out
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out
Burnin 'til it's burned out, turn it 'til it's turned out
Act up from north west east south
[chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get it started, get it started, get it started,
Let's get it started, (ha)
Let's get it started, (in here)
Let's get it started, (ha)
Let's get it started, (in here)
Let's get it started, (ha)
Let's get it started, (in here)
Let's get it started, (ha)
Let's get it started, (in here)
Yeah.
Lose control, up outta your soul
Don't move to fast, people, just take it slow
Don't get ahead, just jump into it
Y'all hear about it, the peas will do it
Get started, get stupid
Don't worry about it, people will walk you through it
Step by step like your into new kid
Inch by inch with the new solution
Transmit hits with no delusion
The feeling's irresistable and thats how we move it
[repeat chorus:]
Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'
C'mon y'all, let's get (coo-koo), c'mon, let's get (coo-koo) in here
C'mon y'all, let's get (coo-koo), c'mon, let's get (coo-koo) in here

Apl the gate, and will bring the thugged out drill (just)
Lose your mind, this is the time
Y'all can't stand still, trust and bang your spine (just)
Bob your head like 'b' 'ab' or 'd'
Up inside the club or in your bentley
Get messy, loud and sick
You mind pass normal or another head trip
So, come them now, do not correct it
Let's get ignorant, let's get hectic
[repeat chorus:]
