will.i.am told Billboard that he had been commissioned to work on the track for the Super Bowl XLIV broadcast on February 7, as The Who are performing the halftime show at the game.

He explained: "It's The Who, their song, and then I altered the lyric to fit my generation now and then have Slash on it.

"It was awesome. I loved that song way before this even came up, and talking to Pete Townshend on the phone is like, 'What?! I'm talking to Pete Townshend on the phone?!'."

He added: "That was awesome, being able to just hear their advice and everything. Those guys are just awesome."
