By Will Stroude

The Black Eyed Peas are back with a brand new version of there 2003 smash hit, ‘Where Is The Love?’.

The track has been given a completely new sound, with a sample of Toto’s ‘Africa’ and a children’s choir, and was produced in response to the string of tragedies and terrorist attacks that have struck the world this year.

In a video message, frontman will.i.am explained what led him to bring the song back, with a little help from Jessie J, Jaden Smith. Mary J Blige, Nichole Scherzinger, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, Max and Charlie Carver and more.

“I remember when the Paris attack happened, people would say, we need ‘Where Is The Love?’ again,” will.i.am explained.

“And then Belgium happened. And then Turkey, and then Orlando, and then Philando, and Alton before him, and then Dallas. Everyone was calling on us, like, ‘we need that song again.'”

“I hope this song inspires the millennial to go all out,” will.i.am adds. “Scream from the tallest mountain. Care like your freedom depends on it. Pay attention like that is at risk.”
