Behind The Song:

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas originally posted this on the media platform Dipdive. It was their first single release for nearly three years.

This was the first song played on New York City radio station Now 92.3 after the Rock radio station WXRK-FM switched to a mainstream Top 40 format on March 11, 2009.

This song was sampled by Flo-Rida on his Will.i.am produced track, "Available."

Fergie explained to MTV News that, "the concept of the video is the Peas' birth into the digital afterlife. So the transformation is us going into a sort of birth or cocoon and coming out the other end as forms of energy.

It's a parallel to the music industry. Now everything is downloaded." Will.i.am added that the promo was inspired by the digitalising of the world today. He said that he hoped the video portrays "what it would be like if we were actually in the computer, if art was fused in it. [It's] analog life from a digital perspective becoming technology."

This was the first US #1 for the Peas. Their previous best chart placing had been the #3 ranked singles "Don't Phunk With My Heart" and "My Humps." Vocalist Fergie had previously recorded three #1s as a solo artist in 2006-07.

Prior to this song reaching the summit, there had been only three other instances of groups following individual members to the peak position (excluding one-time acts like USA for Africa).

The first time this occurred was in July 1986 when "Invisible Touch" became Genesis' first chart-topper, following four #1 singles by Phil Collins in 1984-85. In 1984 John Waite had a #1 hit with "Missing You."

Five years later, as a member of the super group Bad English, he topped the chart again with "When I See You Smile."

In July 2000 Matchbox Twenty's "Bent" led the Hot 100 for a week. The previous fall, the band's vocalist Rob Thomas had spent 12 weeks on top as a featured artist on Santana's "Smooth."

The song's first-week total of 465,000 downloads in the US overtook the previous record for a group. Previously the highest sum had been the 253,000 that Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" achieved in the week dated June 21, 2008.

Will.i.am has stated in interviews that this song was heavily influenced by the electro sounds he heard in the nightclubs in Sydney, Australia. He explained to Q magazine July 2009: "I heard all this club music when I was filming Wolverine in Australia. I met (Italian production duo) The Crookers there and loved their stuff."
