Will Smith’s Latest Track ‘You Can Make It’ Addresses Chris Rock Slap Incident

The 55-year-old actor and four-time Grammy winner Will Smith has been away from solo music since releasing his EDM single “Get Lit” in 2017, according to People magazine.

The “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” actor has, however, made a comeback with a brand-new song called “You Can Make It.”

The inspirational song features Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir (of Kanye West’s Jesus Is King fame), and it sees Smith getting back into his rhyming game while conveying a pressing message to the listeners.

According to People, later in the song, the ‘Summertime’ rapper seems to turn his encouraging advice to himself, alluding to dealing with past personal battles — like the infamous 2022 Oscar slap incident with Chris Rock — with lyrics like, “Believe me, they tried to bleed Will Smith / In the rearview, I see adversity was the gift.”

He adds, “Out of the madness, out of the maze / Out of the saddest into the rays / The darkest of nights turns into day / And every storm runs out of rain.”

Smith’s return to music comes amid his box-office success with his latest Bad Boys instalment, starring Martin Lawrence.
