Black Eyed Peas went to centenary state high school and got their start in 1988 when will.i.am (born 1975 William James Adams Jr.) and apl.de.ap (born 1974 Allan Pineda) began rapping and performing together around Los Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) after catching the attention of the nephew of Jerry Heller (Eazy-E's manager). Along with Mookie Mook (Burning Star), Dante Santiago & DJ Motiv8, they called their group A.T.B.A.N. Klann. Their debut album, 'Grass Roots', was not released originally because Ruthless did not consider the social themes reflected in the group's music to be marketable to their audience. A single "Puddles of H2O" was released in 1994 but no album was released (until it leaked onto the Internet in the mid 2000s).
After Eazy-E died of an AIDS related illness in 1995, they changed their name to Black Eyed Peas; will.i.am explained on the front cover of the Monkey Business album that "Black Eyed Peas are food for the soul", hence the name. will.i.am has cited the Red Hot Chili Peppers as an influence and said he named his band after a food, like them. They replaced their original third member Mookie, with Dante Santiago the Peas original singer. Then Taboo (born Jaime Gomez) joined the group. Dante Santiago took on a role as a guest vocalist in the band and featured frequently on various tracks for their first four albums.
In 1996, they produced and appeared on a song entitled "That's Right" for Brian Austin Green's hip-hop album One Stop Carnival. Later, they began using Kim Hill as a steady background singer. Unlike many hip-hop acts, they chose to perform with a live band and adopted a musical and clothing style that differed wildly from the "gangsta rap" sounds of other Los Angeles-based hip-hop acts at the time. Through the mid-'90s, they performed in the local club circuit alongside fellow acts such as Ozomatli and Jurassic 5.
The group were signed to Interscope Records and released their debut, "Behind the Front", in 1998. The album won the group (and their accompanying live band, the Bucky Jonsons) critical acclaim. The album featured the single "Joints & Jams", which was included on the Bulworth soundtrack. Their second album, "Bridging the Gap", was released in 2000; it featured the single "Request + Line" featuring Macy Gray.
After replacing their female background singer with Fergie, the group released their breakout album, "Elephunk", and their 2005 album, "Monkey Business", which featured the hit singles "Pump It", "Don't Phunk With My Heart", "Don't Lie" and "My Humps".
"The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)", their fifth album, was released worldwide in June 2009 and has managed to sell 5 million copies in 8 months (Elephunk: 7 million, Monkey Business: 10 million). It already spawned 2 of the most downloaded singles of all time: "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling", both were downloaded 5 million times only in the USA. The 3rd single "Meet Me Halfway" was downloaded 2 million times and the 4th "Imma Be", which was just released, already sold 1 million. "Rock That Body" is the 5th single.

Black Eyed Peas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stand another night
Without you
Since you've been away
Everything's don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
Cause I'm missing you (I, I, I, I, I, I)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
Yo, yo, yo
Everyday everyday that you gone
I'm singing out that sad song
If loving you is wrong
Then I must be wrong
Even if when I'm gone
Our love is strong
You're the one I want
You're my number one
And yea my love ain't going out of fashion
I need to love your passion
The love is everlasting
Since you've been away
Everything's don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
Cause I'm missing you (I, I, I, I, I, I)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
When I'm out on the road (I'm missing you)
Rockin' them shows (missing you)
Up in Monaco (I'm missing you)
Making go
What may seem plush (I'm missing you)
And glamorous (miss kissing you)
But I miss your touch (I'm missing you)
Yeah I miss your touch
I spent all my time (missing you)
With you and mine (missing you)
My minds on you
Cause all I want is missing you (i'm missing you)
(I'm missing you)
(I'm missing you)
Since you've gone away
Everything's don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
Cause I'm missing you (I, I, I, I, I, I)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
I'm missing you, love (love, love, love)
Girl I ain't never had nothin' like this
When I'm all sprung caught up like this
Maybe its your face girl maybe its your lips
Maybe its the way you shake them hips
Maybe its the way you do what you do
That got me all love struck on you
I'll be like an umbrella the way I'm all over you
I know them other boys be callin' you
But they just wanna piece, I want all of you
Take my time just spoiling you
Cause I know I'm in love with you
Please baby don't go
Needing you now
I'm missing you
I'm missing you,
I'm missing you,
I'm missing you,
Missing you
