Black Eyed Peas is comprised of frontman Will.i.am, frontwoman Fergie, who recently returned to the group after a hiatus during which she pursued her solo career, and Apl.de.ap and Taboo. The lead single, of The E.N.D., Boom Boom Pow debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 100 and has topped the chart for several consecutive weeks; it is also at the top of the charts in the U.K. As such it is the group’s first ever chart topping single.

The official I Gotta Feeling video premiered on June 2, 2009 and was directed by Ben Mor. The track samples the song “Love Is Gone” by David Guetta who, along with Will.i.am coproduced the track.

The highly anticipated album is the group’s first since the multi-platinum selling 2005 album Monkey Business. Regarding the new album, which uses a variety of music styles and features production and appearances from MSTRKRFT, David Guetta, Boys Noize, Keith Harris and Paper Boy, frontman Will.i.am said:

“When something is different, authentically unique, it’s always going to be questioned…By default, people aren’t going to understand us because there aren’t that many like us.

“The concept for “The E.N.D.,” an acronym for “The Energy Never Dies,” doesn’t stray far from the Peas’ basic formula, Will.i.am says. “We’ve always had a smorgasbord of sounds including dance,” he notes, pointing to songs like “Be Free” from “Behind the Front,” “Weekends” (on “Bridging the Gap”) and “My Humps” (“Monkey Business”).

The article goes on to quote Apl.de.ap describing ‘I Gotta Feeling’ as a “college anthem for people looking forward to escaping life’s pressures by going out and having a ball.”
