will.i.am has debuted his latest Barack Obama-inspired single "America's Song" on January 19. Premiering it on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", he collaborated with Seal, Bono, Mary J. Blige and Faith Hill for the live appearance.
"America's Song" is a track crafted by the Black Eyed Peas' member teaming up with composer David Foster. It contains lyrics narrating, "America is beautiful/ My America, your America, our America is beautiful." It is available for free download on Oprah.com until Tuesday, January 20 at 5 P.M. ET.
During the TV show, taking place at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center, will.i.am told Oprah Winfrey that "the meaning of this song is being proud of America." He then added, "I wanted to write the new American anthem for this day and age - for this generation."
Justin Timberlake, Usher, Scarlett Johansson, Forest Whitaker, Glenn Close, Angela Bassett and BeBe Winans were also seen among the attendees during the Monday show. "We all of a sudden have swagger. America, we're cool now," Timberlake shared his feeling about Obama's inauguration.

Some of the comments are really small minded. It still shows you how far some of us still need to come. Anyway will.i.am songs, I'ts a new day and america are beautiful. When I listen to them I cannot sit down.
where the hell are the lyrics?!?!?
Your artistic work has brought hope and understanding to the pride that we as Americans feel about the election of a president who looks like us. Your work is great and I feel that you captured the heart of the African American people, the hurting of all Americans who have endured the worst history ever for the past eight years. God has stepped down, just like he did with the Israelites and touched his creation with his amazing love to save us from ourselves. God Bless you. I pray that one day I will meet you and personally thank you for allowing God to use you to express the joys of so many. I have a song and I have no idea how to put it on paper. You are a great artist. eh
