Background

The album has been described by will.i.am as semi-autobiographical conceptual album "where all the songs could tell a story of falling in love, falling out of love, trying to get back in love, destructing love and destroying love and then starting a new situation. That journey is what makes this unique."^[1] The album is partially based on a seven year relationship that will.i.am experienced and the infidelities and the break-up of that relationship.^[3] According to will.i.am's video on MySpace TV, he considers Songs About Girls to be his "debut album", with his first two being production compilations.
