A&R executive Ron Fair approached them and suggested a crossover to a more mainstream pop sound. will.i.am in particular resisted the idea for fear that they would be seen as sellouts. However, after discussions and some writing sessions, the idea was pursued. Shortly after Christmas 2001, will.i.am created a loop and a guitar part that he liked. apl. de. ap and Taboo also heard the track and were able to write similar lyrics over it. Justin Timberlake was introduced to the group by Taboo, and got a chance to hear the track that will.i.am created. Impressed with the music, Timberlake helped write and sing the chorus. Timberlake was in the midst of promotion of his debut solo album, Justified, and his label Jive Records was concerned about possible overexposure. The Black Eyed Peas were worried about this, as getting some assistance from an established pop star like Timberlake had been the original point of this song. A compromise was reached eventually in which Jive gave clearance for the vocals of Timberlake to be released on the song, but he does not appear in the song 's music video nor is he officially credited on the song as an artist. By 2008, the single had sold 954,000 digital copies. Composition Timberlake co-wrote the song and provided vocals. The song was written by will.i.am, apl. de. ap, Taboo, Justin Timberlake, Ron Fair, Printz Board, George Pajon, Fiona Davies M. Fratantuno, and J. Curtis, and co-produced by will.i.am and Ron Fair. In this song, The Black Eyed Peas lament on various worldwide problems. Many issues are discussed, which include but are not limited to terrorism, US government hypocrisy, racism, gang crime, pollution, war, and intolerance Reception The song was rewarded with nominations at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004 for Record of the Year and Best Rap / Sung Collaboration. The song was the biggest selling single of 2003 in the UK. It was also the 25th best - selling single of the 2000s ( decade ) in the UK. On May 12, 2013, after 10 years since the song 's release, the song re-entered the official UK singles charts at 40, eventually peaking at 35. Music video The music video for `` Where Is the Love ? '' was shot in East Los Angeles and features The Black Eyed Peas and various other people, including various young children, asking the world where the love really is. In the video, will.i.am and Taboo act as a soul music road duo who use music to tell people what is wrong with the world, Fergie appears as a peacemaker who places stickers with question marks on them all over the place to ask people where the love is in the world, and apl. de. ap is a criminal who is arrested for using criminal offences to tell people the truth. Justin Timberlake does not appear in the video, although several different people are seen mouthing the chorus as he sings it. The video is similar to a 2002 British television advertisement for T - Mobile, in which a face of a young baby is presented in various forms around a large city, much like the question mark in this video. The Bon Jovi music video `` Have a Nice Day '' is also similar to both the advertisement and this video. The video features gameplay footage of the graphically explicit and controversial video game Postal 2, in which a group of young children are playing the game. This suggests that violence in the media and entertainment industry affects the morals of children. Covers British pop band Busted did a rock version of the song, which features on their live album, A Ticket for Everyone. The Voice UK contestant Frances Wood sang the song at her audition and chose will.i.am to be her mentor. Japanese pop singer Sho Sakurai of Arashi re-wrote the rap lyrics in Japanese language and performed his cover version at his solo concert in 2006. At the Mnet Asian Music Awards ( commonly abbreviated as MAMA ) promotional held in Singapore in 2011, will.i.am apl. de. ap performed the song with friend and collaborator, K - pop vocalist and rapper CL of 2NE1 performing Taboo and Fergie 's part. The X Factor Israel contestant Inbal Bibi sang the song at the live shows and received positive reviews. Ariana Grande joined the Black Eyed Peas for a cover of the version at Grande 's 2017 One Love Manchester concert. Gwen Stefani performed the song at Hyundai Genesis G70 launch event in Seoul, South Korea on September 15, 2017. Formats and track listings CD single `` Where Is the Love ?
