The Black Eyed Peas are officially coming back to Manila.
Happening this August 27, 2025 (Wednesday) at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, the American hip-hop/pop hitmakers’ return to the Philippines has been, undeniably, long-awaited, especially since it’s their first time back in nearly 14 years. As the “I Gotta Feeling” trio – composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo – are finally set to make a grand come back to our shores, it’s time to get yourselves ready to dance the evening away.
With this, Billboard Philippines has curated eight tracks from the Black Eyed Peas to get you ready to party tomorrow night.
“Let’s Get It Started”
To kick things off, why not begin with the aptly titled “Let’s Get It Started”? Serving as the fourth single from the Black Eyed Peas’ third album and breakthrough record Elephunk, this funky, electric guitar-driven rap track is sure to get you hyped up for the group’s return to Manila.
“Pump It”
Up next, it’s time to turn the energy up even higher with “Pump It.” Serving as the opening track to 2005’s Monkey Business, this surf rock-infused hip-hop single is guaranteed to get you off your feet, your adrenaline pumping (pun intended) to the next level, and have you dancing and vibing along with no care in the world.
“Boom Boom Pow”
Another heavyhitter on this list is “Boom Boom Pow” – the lead single from the Black Eyed Peas’ chart-topping fifth studio album The E.N.D.. Notable for its entrancing EDM-infused hip-hop instrumentals, this track oozes with just the right kind of swagger to help you get in the proper mood for their upcoming show.
“Where Is The Love?”
If you want to slow things down a bit, “Where Is The Love?” is the perfect song for you. Serving as the first single from Elephunk, this laidback emotional track co-written by Justin Timberlake shows the more reflective side of the Black Eyed Peas’ lyricism, as it tackles different social issues and ponders the absence of love in the face of these hurtful happenings.
“Rock That Body”
This party anthem barely needs any introduction. Released back in 2010 as the fifth and final single from The E.N.D., “Rock That Body” gained a massive resurgence in popularity this year thanks to going viral online, with its booming beats and high octane synths guaranteed to get you dancing, jumping around, and, well, rocking that body.
“RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)”
One of the Black Eyed Peas’ most viral releases, “RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)” is a collaboration track with Colombian singer J Balvin. Serving as the opening track to the group’s eighth studio album Translation, the song is notable for its reggaeton/hip-hop instrumentals, perfect if you want a more laidback but still groovy listening experience ahead of the concert.
“The Time (Dirty Bit)”
If you want a song that leaves you feeling like you’re clubbing back in the early 2010’s, look no further than “The Time (Dirty Bit).” Serving as the first single from the Black Eyed Peas’ sixth full-length record The Beginning, this nostalgic track pulls you closer and closer to the dance floor with every listen, effortlessly getting you to move along to its dreamy synth-laced melodies and pounding beats.
“I Gotta Feeling”
To close things off with a bang, we’ve got “I Gotta Feeling” – The Black Eyed Peas’ biggest song ever. Serving as the second single from The E.N.D., this electro-dance pop track will surely get you absolutely hyped up for the group’s highly anticipated Manila concert, with its overall feel-good atmosphere and heavy synths evoking the familiar experience of a fun night out with friends.
