In the final stretch before Election Day, Black Eyed Peas co-founder Will.i.am has endorsed Kamala Harris with his powerful new song, Yes She Can.
Released last night, just 48 hours before the majority of voters head to the polls, the track is both a rallying cry and a message of hope aimed at inspiring Americans to support Harris as she aims to make history.
The 1-minute and 43-second acoustic song, shared on Will.i.am’s YouTube channel, pulls no punches in expressing his concerns about the current state of American politics.
In the opening verse, he calls out former President Donald Trump: “entertained by the predator.” The song makes it clear that for Will.i.am, supporting Kamala Harris is about more than politics; it’s about ushering in a new era of leadership that reflects progress and inclusion.
“So register and vote for your life / Do it for your daughters and your sons and your wife,” Will.i.am sings. “If you a woman then vote for your rights / And don’t let them take away your rights / We could be better than we ever been / We about to have a woman president.”
In the video’s caption, Will.i.am reiterated his commitment to the cause. “This is a heartfelt anthem celebrating Kamala Harris and the power of everyday people. With Election Day just around the corner, I wanted to score the movement, and create a call to action, and a promise of what we can achieve together,” he wrote. He also emphasized that the song isn’t just about Harris’ historic candidacy but about celebrating the resilience and strength of women everywhere. “Join me as we shine a spotlight not only on the journey of Kamala Harris and the change that’s coming but also on the everyday heroes and #PowerfulWoman who breathe life into the world,” he added.
Yes She Can is a reimagining of Will.i.am’s 2008 hit Yes We Can, which was created to support then-candidate Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The original song, which featured quotes from Obama’s campaign speeches over a melodic acoustic guitar, became a viral sensation.
