My Humps by Black Eyed Peas Song Info
"My Humps" is a song performed by American recording group Black Eyed Peas. The song was written and produced by group member will.i.am for their fourth studio album Monkey Business (2005). It was released as the band's third single from the album on September 27, 2005, due in part to the strength of downloads preceding the release. Musically, "My Humps" is a hip hop and dance song that is structured as a duet between will.i.am and Fergie. The song sparked controversy because of its title and lyrics, which center on a woman who uses her breasts and buttocks to accomplish her goals. Despite the negative response from music critics, the song won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, and it was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in fifteen countries worldwide. In the United States, it became the Black Eyed Peas' second single to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and one of their best selling singles, selling more than two million downloads.
