The new music video for the lead single to the Bad Boys: Ride or Die soundtrack, “Tonight,” has arrived in its futuristic glory, as Black Eyed Peas is joined by Latin superstars El Alfa and Becky G for the star-studded feature.
The highly-anticipated latest installment of the storied ‘Bad Boys’ film series, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, will world premiere on June 7 in theaters via Sony Pictures.
Lead single to a ‘Bad Boys’ movie soundtrack has become quite the lofty stage, especially after the success of “RITMO (Bad Boys for Life),” the lead single for the series’ previous installment, 2020’s Bad Boys For Life, and the franchise has BEP to thank in part. The record, by Black Eyed Peas and J Balvin,, has surpassed the coveted billion-stream mark on YouTube, a rare feat that only a handful of acts have achieved to this point. It also went on to be certified double-platinum by the RIAA, and top numerous Billboard charts, including Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay.
Black Eyed Peas, the six-time GRAMMY-winning act with a legacy of hitmaking and starpower, were shot in London and directed by Kevin Cooney. El Alfa and Becky G, shot in Los Angeles for the feature, were directed by Sterling Hampton. Production on “Tonight” is courtesy of Clash of the Artistic Minds and Monica Lawless.
BEP’s three consecutive multi-platinum albums, Elephunk, Monkey Business and The E.N.D., helped establish it as one of the most dominant pop groups of all-time over the course of its three-decade-plus career. The video for “Tonight” marks another feather in its legendary cap.
