"We want everybody to have a good time and just dance, party," will.i.am said about the performance that's expected to include R&B star Usher and former Guns `N Roses guitarist Slash.
A person familiar with the plans for Sunday's halftime show told The Associated Press that both musicians were slated to make surprise appearances. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday, because the musicians' performances were not going to be announced.
"Hopefully we will bring the heat because it's cold as hell here in Dallas," said Black Eyed Peas band member Taboo.
The band spoke at a news conference in downtown Dallas on the third consecutive day of subfreezing temperatures during a rare cold spell that greeted the first Super Bowl week in North Texas.
Taboo said the opportunity to provide entertainment for the NFL's ultimate game is "a dream come true for us as football lovers."
Fellow band member, Fergie, said it was a "huge honor" to be picked as halftime performer.
The Black Eyed Peas have sold more than 28 million albums worldwide and are known for songs such as "Boom Boom Pow," "I Gotta Feeling" and "Imma Be."
"Some people write songs for radio. Some people write songs for clubs. We like to write songs for life," will.i.am said, adding that the group is flattered that many of their energetic songs are featured at sporting events.
