I fuckin miss this time in music with The Black Eyed Peas so much. I feel like they pioneered the early 2010s party/celebration genre of pop music.

I grew up madly in love with and in awe of Fergie. My first concert at 13 was THE END tour and I remember just thinking like, “this is how adults PARTY” and I had so much fun, they played their most iconic songs. Fergie road that tron bike over the crowd. Me and my friend and her mom had such a good time. That’s still one of the coolest concerts I’ve ever been to.

I remember listening to this on the way to school in like 7th grade, looking out the window with my earbuds in, and the beat switch at 2:43 would always give me chills. Something about those chords and bass coming in like that just got me feeling ready to take on the day man. Just came back to this to relive the nostalgia
I honestly would've thought this had a billion views like how does this not? This is super catchy. I remember listening to this in middle school and it played everyday and I never gotten tired of it.
That's exactly why it doesn't have a billion views. Because it came out over 14 years ago Usually only the new music gets close to a Billion or the special old music. If youtube was as widely used in 2008-2012 as it is today this probably is getting close to a billion views.
@Christopher._M There's 100s of songs that came out at that time that have hundreds of millions of views and even billions. Such as Lady gaga pokerface and etc..
Uh they didn't break up there just taking a break they might be working in a few weeks making the next album mean while will.i.am is pumping us up for there next album just gotta wait
The Black Eyed Peas we’re really ahead of their time back then I mean who else was doing this I’m glad I got to watch and listen to them in their primes
