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,

Everywhere we go we're rocking on

Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on (rocking on)
[Verse 1: will.i.am]
Y'all lookin' for a festival I know the spot
Come across the bridge over here to where it's hot
It's poetic, guaranteed you're diggin' it
You have the bobs a lot, bombience is infinite
Baby doll no need to front, we the exquisite
We could be your favorite, yeah you could come brassiere
What you aah-bout to witness ain't no kind of fear
It's immaculate, look at what we're comin' with
Yeah I tease you when I hit you with them tidbits
But you tease me when you be wearing them outifts
Every angle of it IS so perfect
I know you love it when we... [do it]

Everywhere we go we're rocking on (rocking on)
[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]
It's another one of those exposure from my main culture
I'ma do this shit like I'm supposed ta
Apl.de.ap on the mic, let me set it right
Take you on a ride flight to the other side
One point to the other we providin' ya
You could cross the same bridge if ya wanted ta
Sometimes gotta take time to do
New things can be trapped outta move
Do what you wanna do, who to tell you not to
You wanna make jams go ahead I got you
Don't be afraid no matter who you are
No matter who you be, you're a star
[Chorus: will.i.am & Esthero]
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on (rocking on)
[Bridge: Esthero]

Everywhere we go-oh (rock on)
We go-oh-woh-woh-woh (hold up)
[Verse 3: Taboo, (Esthero) & will.i.am]
Hold up y'all and watch me ELABORATE
I'ma try my best to what? To communicate
What I demonstrate will simply stimulate
The cha make you gyrate, pleasure when we penetrate
(Everywhere we go) We motivate, (everywhere we go) and we captivate
{WE ROLL} Here, {WE GO} there, {WE GO} here, {WE GO}
Everywhere, every everywhere
Black Eyed Peas is like the hip-hop Fred Astaire
Spread it out from over there to over here
Descendent of the all makin' all a y'all aware that
We're fantastical when we're comin' with (magic)
And majestical when we're comin' with (magic)
Doin' it (once), we're doin' it (twice), we're doin' it three times
[Chorus: will.i.am & Esthero]
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on (rocking on)
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on
Every little thing we do's like magic
Anything we do will not go wrong
Every little thing we do's like magic
Everywhere we go we're rocking on (rocking on)
[Outro: will.i.am]
Rockin' on, anything we do we rock rock on
We're just like, magic, we're magic, it's magic, it's magic
