listeners.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Black Eyed Peas\u00a0have resurfaced archival clips of their 2005 track \u201cBebot\u201d as the song trends anew on TikTok, driven by a wave of user-generated transformation and beauty videos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBebot\u201d appears on the group\u2019s fourth studio album,\u00a0Monkey Business, released in 2005. The track is rapped entirely in Tagalog by founding member\u00a0apl.de.ap. The term \u201cbebot\u201d is widely understood as Filipino slang for a \u201cpretty woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recently shared social media posts, members of the group revisited the song\u2019s origins and its ties to the Filipino community in Los Angeles, underscoring apl.de.ap\u2019s role in bringing Tagalog lyrics into mainstream American pop during the mid-2000s.<\/p>\n<p>Although \u201cBebot\u201d was not released as a major commercial single at the time, it later received a music video treatment in 2006, directed by Patricio Ginelsa. The video emphasized Filipino cultural imagery and dance, reinforcing the song\u2019s diasporic identity.<\/p>\n<p>apl.de.ap, born in Angeles City, Pampanga, has long been one of the most visible Filipino figures in global pop music. \u201cBebot\u201d remains one of the group\u2019s most direct Tagalog-language releases and a distinct marker of Filipino representation within their catalog.<\/p>\n<p>The song\u2019s current resurgence reflects a broader pattern in which catalog tracks from the 2000s gain renewed momentum through short-form video platforms. In this case, user adoption has propelled \u201cBebot\u201d back into circulation, introducing its Tagalog verses and cultural references to a new digital audience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source asianjournal.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Post Viber icon Viber Email The 2005 track \u201cBebot\u201d by the Black Eyed Peas \u2013 apl.de.ap (left),\u00a0will.i.am\u00a0(center), and Taboo (right) \u2013 is experiencing a renewed surge in popularity on TikTok, introducing the Tagalog-language song to a new generation of listeners. \u2013 Photo courtesy of the Black Eyed Peas \/ Official social media image \u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2278662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[419598,386959,439079,441260,441261,441262,441263,441264,441265,434310],"class_list":["post-2278661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-apl-de-ap","tag-asian-journal","tag-bebot","tag-black-eyed-peas","tag-filipino-representation-in-pop-music","tag-monkey-business-album","tag-taboo","tag-tagalog-rap","tag-tiktok-music-trend","tag-will-i-am"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Black-Eyed-Peas-resurface-\u2018Bebot-as-2005-track-trends-again.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2278661"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278661\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2278663,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278661\/revisions\/2278663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2278661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2278661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2278661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
