Black Eyed Peas 来自洛杉矶,是一支深受灵魂乐、爵士乐、拉丁节奏与现场演唱精神所启发的放克/嘻哈乐队,早期由Will I Am、Apl de Ap、Taboo 三位团员所组成,在1998年与2000年先后发行了两张备受好评的专辑《Behind The Front》与《Bridging The Gap》。他们跨越类型音乐,并多元采撷拉丁、印地安、亚洲民族旋律的音乐创作态度深获音乐界肯定,第2张专辑《Bridging The Gap》就吸引了The Fugees合唱团创作主将Wyclef Jean与DJ Premiere携手掌舵制作大任,其中与 Macy Gray合唱的Request Line荣登饶舌单曲榜亚军。
这首歌创作于2003年,美国发动伊拉克战争,而宣战的缘由是所谓的“反恐”,实际导致战争的却是其他拿不上台面的因素。歌词从表象剖析,指向美国社会问题的深层次原因。用Rap这种形式来唱让人觉得谴责与反问更为有力。
