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,

[Chorus]
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new wave, it's a new wave
New wave, it's a new wave
New wave, a new wave
New wave, a new wave
What is it?
[Verse 1: will.i.am]
It's the new flavor
I put in the work, do the hard labor
Go and tell the world, go and tell ya neighbor
Tell her that my daddy's name is Darth Vader
Willy Skywalker with the Light Saber
Resilient, killer with the omega
Chameleon, transform to a saber
Tooth tiger who's eyes are lasers
Lights from the iris beam pager
The Midas Touch gold exchanger
The tidas clutch, code name strangler
'Cause I choke the microphone, that's my disclaimer
Don't sniff cocaine, that's no buena
I know shit, so I know what's a no brainer
So don't be afraid of the new flavor
It's the newest, the new, brand new
[Chorus]
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new wave, it's a new wave
New wave, it's a new wave
New wave, a new wave
New wave, a new wave
Boo!
[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]
Scare motherfuckers like it's October
I'ma take you higher than a pot smoker
Boil in the spot like it's hot yoga
I still take shots so I'm not sober
Yeah you see me shinin' like a Supernova
Brighter than a diamond because I keep it solar
I might just blind you when I show up
Hold up, 'cause I roll up with soldiers
My explosion give me exposure
Can't stop, won't stop, so there's never closure
Coming with the lava rocks, hot boulders
Make you have a- have a- have a hand out
Over and over and over
Warped like a motor
Nice on the mic when I strike like a cobra
So don't be afraid of the new flavor
It's the new, it's the new, brand new
[Chorus]
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new wave, it's a new wave
New wave, it's a new wave
New wave, a new wave
New wave, a new wave
It's the new style
[Bridge]
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New wave, it's the new wave
New wave, it's the new
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
New wave, it's a...
[Verse 3: Taboo]
Hey bro, I'ma ride that new wave
Halo on my head like a toupee
Stay low, bass low, lower than a grave
Get no pesos, gotta stay paid
A while ago all of it was misbehaved
T-A-B double O at the rave
Now I just sip T-E-A
And they don't trip on my ETA
Tab always on time, no delay
Need a rewind, bring it back, replay
What the fuck they be rhymin' 'bout these days
They be mumblin' like "What the fuck did he say?"
So please speak clear and enunciate
Don't be all up in my ear and irritate
Be different, differentiate
Be the new, be the new, brand new
[Chorus]
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new style
Come, come, come and get it
It's the new wave, it's a new wave
New wave, it's a new wave
New wave, a new wave
New wave, a new wave
It's the new style
[Bridge]
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New wave, it's the new wave
New wave, it's the new wave
It's the new-
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
New wave, it's a new
[Outro]
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New wave, it's the new wave
New wave, it's the new
New flavor, it's a new flavor
New flavor, it's a new flavor
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
New wave, it's a new
