"Where Is The Love?" is the first single from The Black Eyed Peas' third album, Elephunk. Released in 2003, the single (which features an uncredited vocal from Justin Timberlake) peaked at #8 in the USA becoming The Black Eyed Peas' first Top 10 hit; the single also peaked at #1 in Australia and the UK. The single is most known as the breakthrough single of The Black Eyed Peas. Prior to this single The Black Eyed Peas had been very unsuccessful commercially, and were about to dissolve professionally; with the release of this single, The Black Eyed Peas were able to become international icons and to obtain their biggest worldwide hit. The single is also notable for being the first single to feature Fergie.

"Torn" is a song by the band Ednaswap from their debut album Ednaswap (1995). It was written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven and Phil Thornalley during a demo session in 1991 before Ednaswap was even formed.

In 1996 Norwegian singer Trine Rein recorded a version of the song. The year after, in 1997, Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia covered the song for her debut album Left of the Middle. Released as a single, Imbruglia's version became a worldwide hit. At the time, U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart rules did not allow for airplay-only songs to chart, so the song was prevented from achieving a high position on that chart despite remaining atop the Hot 100 Airplay chart for eleven weeks.

For the track, Natalie Imbruglia received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, losing to Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. The music video for "Torn" features British actor Jeremy Sheffield.

The Natalie Imbruglia version was recorded in Kilburn, London with David Munday (Lead Guitar), Phil Thornalley (Bass, Rhythm Guitars), Chuck Sabo (Drums), Henry Binns, Sam Hardaker (Zero Seven) (Drum Programming) and Katrina Leskanich (Background vocals). It was mixed by Nigel Godrich.
