The structure has three beats in one song. Will.i.am acknowledge the song’s unusual and repetitive nature when he told Rolling Stone, “It has one note. And it’s the best thing The Black Eyed Peas have ever recorded.” WK Boston Globe described the song and others from the album as “substance-free, grammatically suspect dance floor jams” which were nonetheless “booty-shaking pleasures.” WK Digital Spy’s Nick Levine called it “a fairly ridiculous robopop stomper” but also said, “Frankly who cares?
