Overall Meaning

The Black Eyed Peas' song Pump It is all about getting the party started and pumping up the volume. The chorus encourages people to pump up the volume on their radios and stereos as the band members rap about how nobody can touch them and how girls all over the world are into their music. The lyrics are upbeat and energetic, with lots of repetition and catchphrases. The use of ha ha ha and the line "damn, damn, damn" adds to the song's high-energy vibe.


The song's verses touch on themes of jealousy, fame, and the pressure to perform. The Black Eyed Peas mention that some people hate on them and are envious of their success, which they attribute to being "fabulous." They also rap about how they have a contagious vibe and how girls all over the world are into them. The chorus ties everything together, encouraging the listener to turn up the volume and get their dance on.

Remember when music videos weren't just people standing in-front of lasers or dancing against a white background?
