Will Smith is back with two powerful singles, You Can Make It and Work of Art, each offering a unique perspective on resilience and personal growth.
You Can Make It, takes a soulful and uplifting approach. Smith debuted You Can Make It live at the 2024 BET Awards at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, accompanied by the Sunday Service Choir, legendary Gospel artist, Kirk Franklin, and Chandler Moore. In this song, he steps out of his unofficial rap retirement to share wisdom on pushing through hardship, reminding listeners that they can overcome any obstacles. The track is a reflection of Smith's own journey, filled with personal challenges, and highlights how music has been a source of strength for him. In his own words, Smith describes the song as a way to bring light and joy to others who may be going through tough times.
Work of Art featuring Russ, is an inspirational anthem where Smith reflects on his personal journey, highlighting themes of resilience and self-worth. With a catchy hook and motivational verses, the track embodies his signature optimism. Blending modern hip-hop elements with Smith’s iconic ’90s style, Smith recorded this song as a tribute to the idea that everyone’s life is a masterpiece in progress, inspired by his own personal growth and experiences in recent years.
Together, You Can Make It and Work of Art showcase Will Smith’s ability to blend personal reflection with universal messages of hope and resilience, proving that his voice in music is as relevant and impactful as ever.
