Will Smith Performs New Song 'You Can Make It' at 2024 BET Awards

Will Smith took the stage at the 2024 BET Awards for the first performance of his new single, 'You Can Make It.'

Before Smith hit the stage, his voice rang out through the theater as he introduced his inspiring track with a powerful ethos, "I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but whatever's going on in your life, I'm here to tell you you can make it." He later took a step back to focus on acting, with his last major music releases as a lead artist coming when he covered "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" as part of the soundtrack for the live-action Aladdin remake in 2019. Smith joined a stacked slate of live performers at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California -- including Lauryn Hill, YG Marley, Ice Spice, Tyla, GloRilla, Latto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey and Victoria Monét.
