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,
