“‘Boom Boom Pow’ is not your typical first single,” says Fergie of Black Eyed Peas‘ first No. 1. “It’s basically kind of to the left. We’ve always been misfits, so it makes sense.” The single is part of a project Will.i.am conceived called The Energy Never Dies, after which the Peas named their new disc “The E.N.D.”. “It’s a diary of music that at any given time, depending on the inspiration, you can add to it,” the artist/producer/songwriter explains.
