Musical February : Day 16

Posted on 16/02/2023 by Sheree

I’m a big music fan so thought it might be nice to take part in Bee’s ” Love is in Da Blog” Challenge for the month of February.

Today’s prompt is a love song for humankind and I’m going with Where Is The Love? by American hip hop group the Black Eyed Peas. The track was released in May 2003, as the lead single from their third album, Elephunk. The song was written by will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, Justin Timberlake, Printz Board, Michael Fratantuno and George Pajon. The track features vocals from Timberlake, although he is not officially credited on the single release. It was the group’s first song to feature singer Fergie as an official member.

Where Is the Love? peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, and the UK, where it became the biggest-selling single of 2003. The band and Timberlake received two nominations, Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, for the song at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Black Eyed Peas ask a fundamental question to humanity in this song. Knowing that all humans have the potential to show love, it is perplexing to look at the state of the world and see all of the problems that exist. This important question helps us to see that if we truly want to heal the world, we must more deeply tap into the power of love.

Are you ready to go show some love to humanity?
