After a five-year hiatus, Black Eyed Peas are back together to ask a musical question: “Where Is the Love?”

Black Eyed Peas members will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie have reunited to record a new version of their 2003 hit, with proceeds from the new single going to will.i.am’s i.am.angel foundation, with a goal of putting an end to gun violence in America, reports Associated Press.

This time out, they’ll be joined by some high-profile special guests to help out with the new rendition, including Jamie Foxx, Ty Dolla $ign, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Kendall Jenner, Nicole Scherzinger, Diddy, DJ Khaled, The Game and Jaden Smith.

In a statement, the band says that the song and accompanying video — both slated to be released Wednesday — “calls for calm, asking citizens of the world to stop the hate and violence that has resulted in many lives lost.”
