The Black Eyed Peas' 2005 hit song "Pump It" has now surpassed one billion views on YouTube, earning its place in the platform's exclusive Billion Views Club. This achievement is significant as it represents the fourth music video from the group to reach this major milestone.

The track "Pump It" is known for sampling Dick Dale's 1962 rendition of "Misirlou" and was originally included on the "Monkey Business" album, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart.
The music video for "Pump It," filmed in Los Angeles, notably featured a customized Honda Civic Hybrid. The song has seen various iterations, including a remix titled "Pump It Harder" and a 2022 EDM version by DJ Tiësto called "Pump It Louder."
Fergie departed from the group in 2018, after which the Black Eyed Peas continued as a trio. The group has continued to release new music and tour, with their latest album, "Elevation," released in 2022. In December 2025, Fergie hinted at a reunion by sharing photos with her bandmates. The classic lineup reunited publicly onstage in May of this year at the American Music Awards.
