"Let's Get It Started" is a song by American group the Black Eyed Peas. It is a clean version of "Let's Get Retarded" from their third studio album, Elephunk (2003). The album version was originally only reworked for its use in promotion for the 2004 NBA playoffs on ABC in April 2004,{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1486187/black-eyed-peas-rework-song-nba-ads.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120209150256/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1486187/black-eyed-peas-rework-song-nba-ads.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 9, 2012|title=For the Record: Quick News on Black Eyed Peas, Xzibit, Nickelback, Nelly Furtado, The Roots, Danger Mouse & More|publisher=MTV|date=April 5, 2004|access-date=December 11, 2012}} and the clean version was released as the fourth and final single from Elephunk on June 1, 2004, by A&M Records and Interscope Records, also appearing on a reissue of the album.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487022/black-eyed-peas-collaborating-with-darkness.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014064205/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487022/black-eyed-peas-collaborating-with-darkness.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 14, 2013|title=Black Eyed Peas to Make Their Own 'Walk This Way' — With the Darkness|publisher=MTV|date=May 14, 2004|access-date=December 11, 2012}}

"Let's Get It Started" peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching the top ten in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France and New Zealand. Critically acclaimed, it won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), and was also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap Song. The song's accompanying music video features the group energetically performing in a nighttime Los Angeles setting.

"Let's Get It Started" was remixed for the Black Eyed Peas' fifth studio album The E.N.D. (2009) as "Let's Get Re-Started", being included on its deluxe edition bonus disc. It was also featured on their remix album The E.N.D. Summer 2010 Canadian Invasion Tour: Remix Collection (2010). In early 2022, "Let's Get Retarded" was replaced with "Let's Get It Started" on the track listing of Elephunk on all digital and streaming platforms;{{cite web |title=Elephunk |url=https://open.spotify.com/album/4jOESXHbPsfy1IYdyvwjYI |website=Spotify |publisher=Spotify AB |date=2003 |access-date=December 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20221215082803/https://open.spotify.com/album/4jOESXHbPsfy1IYdyvwjYI |archive-date=December 15, 2022 |language=en}}{{cite web |title=Elephunk |url=https://open.spotify.com/album/3eqkfT9f1XyM8GME1gVDrD |website=Spotify |publisher=Spotify AB |access-date=December 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20221215083449/https://open.spotify.com/album/3eqkfT9f1XyM8GME1gVDrD |archive-date=December 15, 2022 |date=2022}}{{cite web |author1=Black Eyed Peas |title=Let's Get It Started (Spike Mix) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjZUYtkyE00 |website=YouTube |access-date=December 15, 2022 |date=March 31, 2022}} however, it is still available with the purchase of the full Let's Get It Started – EP release in the iTunes Store.{{Citation |title=Let's Get It Started - EP by Black Eyed Peas on Apple Music |date=June 22, 2004 |url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/lets-get-it-started-ep/1455129836 |access-date=August 20, 2024 |language=en-US}}
