Title: Meet Me Halfway Artist: Black Eyed Peas Producer: Video Director:

Album: The E.N.D. Year: 2009 Label: Cameo:

“Meet Me Halfway” is the third official single and was the third promotional single by Black Eyed Peas, taken from their 5th studio album The E.N.D. Fergie told the Daily Mail that when she was recording her vocals for “Meet Me Halfway”, she “transported herself back to 1985, when she was 10 and saw Madonna in concert for the first time on the Virgin tour. She took on Madonna’s persona in that song as a homage.” Pretty interesting to see how Fergie came up with the song. The director for the music video was Ben Mor. Ben Mor was also the director for the hit single “I Got a Feeling”.

The video opens on a road in the middle of a desert panning up to the cosmic sky which shifts to scenes of each of the members singing in different locations of space: Fergie lies in the middle of a lush, green forest, apl.de.ap levitates on a desert planet in nomadic clothing, Will.I.Am rides an elephant on a moon of Jupiter, and Taboo glides around the Sun in a spacesuit. APL takes out a map and will.i.am uses a compass to search for a path to the other members. After a while, will.i.am finds a dial which reveals gateways for each of the members to go through. All the members use the gateway, turn into shooting stars, and land on the planet with the road in the middle of the desert.
