In a separate video, the group explained the impetus for re-imagining the song, which originally debuted as a response to 9/11.
"I remember when the attack in Paris happened, people would say 'We need "Where Is The Love?'' again.' And then Belgium happened, and then Turkey, and then Orlando, and then Philando, and then Alton before him, and then Dallas. Everyone was calling on us like, 'We need that song again,'" will.i.am said. T
he proceeds for "#WHERESTHELOVE" will benefit the will.i.am's i.am.angel foundation. Watch The Black Eyed Peas talk about the events that inspired the song's release above, and then see the star-studded "Where Is the Love?" music video on iTunes.
