"Just Can't Get Enough" is a song by American hip hop group ‘The Black Eyed Peas’. This song was written by members William Adams, Allan Pineda, Jaime Gomez and Stacy Ferguson, along with Joshua Alvarez, Stephen Shadowen, Rodney "Dark child" Jerkins, and Julie Frost, for the group's sixth studio album, The Beginning (2010). It was announced on January 21, 2011 as the album's second single. This song has been a success on the charts, reaching the top-five in many countries, such as Australia, France, United Kingdom and the United States, among others. As of June 2011, the single has sold more than 2,000,000 digital units in the U.S.
The Beginning's second single was announced by this group on official website on January 21, 2011. According to this group, the electro song is an attempt to showcase the "physical and emotional range" of the voice of band member Fergie.
Rodney Jerkins and Julie Frost composed the basic song together, with Jerkins on piano and Frost contributing the lyrics and top line melody. The Dark child production team of Tommy Brown and Bah then worked on the producing the track and contributing to the music composition, in the words of Frost, "cut it up and gave it their own twist".
This song was described as a "familiar Black Eyed Peas formula that by now is starting to feel somewhat tiresome." Fergie's voice was described as a "wistfulness, and there is seeds for something more exciting. Her voice can carry an unvarnished sweetness that cuts through all of the electronic studio trickery with a palpable warmth." Group member Taboo explained the meaning of the song: "The message knows that when you're gone from somebody, especially when you're on tour, you can't get enough of them or you're just thinking about them and you just want to let them know that you're always there for them."
The music video for this song was directed by Ben Mor. It was shot over a three-day period in Tokyo. This video was shot just one week before the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. It also demonstrates the love and connection with Japan.
The video premiered on March 16, 2011 on the website Vevo. It was shot in a guerilla-style. Fergie is seen in a hotel room and will.i.am is in the back of a car. Taboo sings his verse while walking in the city and apl.de.ap sings his "switched up" verse in front of a futuristic backdrop with flashing lights. It also includes vignettes of Tokyo's nightlife, such as young club-goers taking photos with mobile phones and the city's rail system.The clip closes with a message to encourage viewers to donate to the Red Cross.
The song video received positive reviews in market from critics. The video clip was filmed in Tokyo, Japan just a week before the recent devastating earthquake gives the video even more depth and poignance. Becky Bain of Idolater wrote that "It's basically Lost In Translation with a more thumping soundtrack."
