It’s official… Fergie’s back with new music.

Following the release of her highly anticipated new single’s artwork, the 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has released “L.A.Love (La La).”

Produced by DJ Mustard, Fergie’s new track finds the singer spanning the globe, singing “To London, to Brazil, to Quebec/Like the whole damn world took effect… to Ferg.”

However, Fergie then takes the reins on the chorus, in which she rattles off all of the cities “saying’ la la la la la.”

Earlier this month, sources confirmed to Billboard that Fergie was finally finishing her sophomore album, with a “good bet” that it would be released in 2015. Mike WiLL Made-It is involved in Fergie’s comeback project, Billboard also learned.

The Dutchess, Fergie’s solo debut album, spawned five Top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: “London Bridge,” “Fergalicious,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Glamorous” and “Clumsy.” Since its September 2006 release, the singer released two albums and traveled the world with the Black Eyed Peas, and appeared on the Great Gatsby soundtrack with “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” last year.

Fergie is spreading more (L.A.) love…

The part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has released the official artwork for her brand new single “L.A. Love (La La),” which will be released on September 29.

The phrase “Smile Now, Cry Later,” is also tattooed to one of the hands, which could be a line from the song or the title of her forthcoming album.

Fergie posted the image on Instagram on Monday with the caption “The #LALOVE Movement begins… 9/29.”

Over the weekend, a portion of Fergie’s new single was played at the DSQUARED2 fashion show at Milan Fashion Week.

The yet-to-be-titled LP is expected to come out next year, her first full-length since 2006’s smash hit The Dutchess.
