Will.i.am Endorses Kamala Harris on New Single ‘Yes She Can’

“We could be better than we ever been/ We about to have a woman president,” the musician sings on the acoustic track

Will.i.am has released a new single, “Yes She Can,” to show his support for Kamala Harris.

The Black Eyed Peas frontman shared the short acoustic song alongside a music video that includes footage of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and protestors standing up for Roe v. Wade. It also depicts citizens casting their votes.

“Mama, what’s wrong with America?/ Why can’t we get along in America?/ Something’s going on in America/ People entertained by the predator,” the rapper intones as the song opens. “We all immigrants different characters/ But together, you know, we could break down the barriers/ So register and vote for your life/ Do it for your daughters and your sons and your wife/ 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.”

“This is a heartfelt anthem celebrating Kamala Harris and the power of every people,” Will.i.am wrote in a statement. “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 added, “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. 🙌🏾 This is a celebration of resilience, hope, and unstoppable spirit.” 

Will.i.am wrote and released several songs during Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, including “Yes We Can” and “We Are the Ones.” After the election in 2008, Will.i.am debuted “It’s a Good Day,” a tune the Black Eyed Pea recorded and promised to release if Obama won the presidency.
