It’s been nearly 20 years since actor-rapper Will Smith last saw his name attached to a credit on the Billboard Hot 100, but that could be set to change soon thanks to his new song ‘You Can Make It.’

“You are in the smoke and the fire / Tight rope on the wire / I see you’re broken and tired / And all your hope is expired / You’re just done with the change and the games and the shame / And the world is insane, all the pain from the flames,” he raps on the Ayo the Producer-helmed cut.

Featuring Fridayy and the soaring melodies of the Sunday Service Choir, ‘Make It’ was teased earlier this week alongside the unexpected announcement that Smith would take to the 2024 BET Awards to perform the inspirational tune.

Now available to hear in full ahead of the big show, hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Make It.’
