"Let's Get It Started" is a song by American groupthe Black Eyed Peas. It is a clean version of the original "Let's Get Retarded" from their third studio album,Elephunk (2003).[4][5] The album version was originally only reworked for its use in promotion for the2004 NBA playoffs onABC in April 2004,[6] and the clean version was released as the fourth and final single fromElephunk on June 1, 2004, byA&M Records andInterscope Records; it also appears on a reissue of the album.[7]

"Let's Get It Started" peaked at number 21 on the USBillboard Hot 100, reaching the top ten in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France and New Zealand. Critically acclaimed, it wonBest Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), and was also nominated forRecord of the Year andBest Rap Song.

It was also featured on their remix albumThe E.N.D. Summer 2010 Canadian Invasion Tour: Remix Collection (2010). In early 2022, "Let's Get Retarded" was replaced with "Let's Get It Started" on the track listing ofElephunk on all digital andstreaming platforms;[8][9][10] however, it is still available with the purchase of the fullLet's Get It Started – EP release in theiTunes Store.[11]
