When William was sixteen years old, he started rapping in late 1991 under the name "Will-1X" after being discovered by Compton rapper and former N.W.A. leader Eazy-E and signed a deal to Eazy's Ruthless Records. will.i.am's first rap song was "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" from Eazy-E's 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. Shortly after Eazy-E's death in 1995, Will left Ruthless to start a group that would later be called the Black Eyed Peas with fellow rappers Taboo and apl.de.ap.
After the addition of singer-songwriter Fergie, the group shot into mainstream pop consciousness with a set of hit singles in the mid-00s, popularity that continues to this day. The Black Eyed Peas' producer is Sergio Mendes, an internationally successful Brazilian musician and jazz aficionado. In September 2007, will.i.am took a major step into a solo career identity by joining with his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), on a pilot scheme to reward certain file-sharing with cash incentives, including will.i.am tracks from his then upcoming release Songs About Girls.
In total, he has released four solo albums: Lost Change (2001), Must B 21 (2003), Songs About Girls (2007), and #willpower (2013). Although often facing mixed critical reviews, he's experienced significant commercial success, including a set of popular singles. His solo performances, featuring collaborations with a wide group of artists including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Phife Dawg, Snoop Dogg, and Nicole Scherzinger, are perhaps best summed up in the international top 20 mega-hit "Scream & Shout".
Will.i.am was also recently cast as John Wraith in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the X-Men movie series. And if one enjoyed Madagascar 2's chunky hippo, Moto Moto, then one should know that the deep voice belonged will.i.am., who came in after he was ''pimped'' out to the directors by his friend and sometimes collaborator Justin Timberlake.
Before joining the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 2001, he began designing his own signature clothing line, i.am, which made its official debut in 2005 at the Magic apparel trade show in Las Vegas. In 2007, Will.i.am teamed up with Blue Holdings to design a premium denim collection, i.am Antik, that had its debut on the Project Show in Las Vegas. He has also designed clothing for the Black Eyed Peas.
In January 2008, will.i.am helped write a song, "Yes We Can", in support of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in turn became a music video directed by Jesse Dylan. The lyrics of the song are composed almost entirely of excerpts from Obama's speech on January 8, 2008, following the New Hampshire presidential primary election. The video features appearances from numerous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Hill Harper, Amber Valletta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Bryan Greenberg, Common and first appeared on the website for Dipdive, and within a week of its appearance racked up three million views, and over four million views on Youtube.
On February 29, 2008, a second video titled "We Are The Ones" was released on Dipdive and YouTube. It included cameo appearances from Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Regina King, Tyrese Gibson, Eric Mabius, Tichina Arnold, Adrienne Palicki, comedian George Lopez, and singers Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz and Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo. The video features everyone chanting "O-BA-MA" as a portrayal as their hopes and wishes for Obama and his presidential campaign.
In 2013, will.i.am released his album "#thatpower".

The lyrics to will.i.am's song "It's Over" tell the story of a man who has lost everything he has bet in a relationship. He reminisces on how he has only been in love like this one time but now he has lost it all. Even though he knows he has to move on, he can't help but feel the same feelings for his lover every time she's around. He's now living recklessly, rolling the dice daily, missing her like crazy, and drowning in alcohol in the hopes of forgetting the pain. He calls her to say hello and let her know he never lost like this before.
The second verse of the song admits that the man is aware of his mistakes and is willing to do everything to make things right. He realizes that he took his lover for granted and that his pride was always getting in the way of his happiness. He acknowledges that he was wrong and learns to be vulnerable, admitting that he can't function without her. The final chorus repeats the first chorus, iterating that he lost it all and it's over now.
Overall, the lyrics of the song explore the pain of losing love due to one's mistakes and understanding that there's no going back.
Line by Line Meaning
It's over now, it's over now
The relationship has come to an end and there is no going back
I lost it all
Everything that was important to me is gone, including you
I bet it all
I took a risk for love and put everything on the line
I lose
I didn't win the game of love and I lost you
Only been in love like this one time
This love was unique, deep and unlike any other I have experienced before
I swear, I swear, I swear
I am telling the truth about my feelings for you and the situation we are in
Can't get you off my mind
You are constantly on my mind and I am struggling to move on
I know that I got to move on but I don't know how
I am aware that I need to let go, but I don't know how to do it
And I feel those feelings whenever you come around, around
My emotions come flooding back every time I see you
Rollin' the dice daily now
I am taking chances with my life without you and hoping for the best
Missing you like crazy now
I am deeply missing your presence and your love
Days are gettin' wavy now
My life is becoming unsteady and turbulent without you
I let the bottle lay me down
I am turning to alcohol to numb the pain of losing you
Hoping that you're waiting 'round
I am still holding on to the hope that you will come back to me
When I call to say hello
I am desperately trying to reconnect with you and salvage what is left
I just wanted you to know
I am trying to express my true feelings and make amends for my mistakes
I never lost like this before
I have never been so heartbroken and lost without someone before
I know it's over
I have come to terms with the fact that our relationship is over
I do it over
If I had the chance, I would do things differently and try to make it work
I'm in my feelings
I am experiencing a range of emotions and struggling to cope with the breakup
Things ain't been kosher, no
Things have not been good or honest between us for a while
I got to get back where we used to be
I am trying to rekindle the love we once shared and recreate the bond we had
I took for granted that you would never leave
I made the mistake of assuming that you would always be there and didn't appreciate you enough
And that was my problem, pride like my papa
My ego and arrogance got in the way of our relationship, just like my father's did
You were just helping, I was rock bottom
You were trying to support me during a difficult time in my life, but I was not in a good place
Yeah, I was wrong, I'm being honest
I acknowledge that I made mistakes and I am trying to be truthful about them
I cannot ride without you beside me
I am struggling to move forward and live my life without you by my side
Lost on the road without you to hold
I feel lost and alone without your love and support
And I need you close
I still need your love and affection in my life
And I was just hoping you would come back home again
My hope is that you will return to me and we can be together again
Without you I can't win
I cannot live a happy and fulfilling life without your love
