Will Smith brought an uplifting energy to the 2024 BET Awards on June 30th by debuting his new single "You Can Make It," just two days after its release.
The track features vocals from Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir, and the performance included a surprise appearance from gospel legend Kirk Franklin. The stage was dynamically set with fire effects that were eventually topped off with rain, creating a memorable visual spectacle.

This marked Smith's first-ever performance at the BET Awards, despite his long-standing relationship with the event. He was joined by Fridayy, the Sunday Service Choir, and Kirk Franklin, creating an atmosphere that felt almost like a church service, filled with inspiration and powerful music.
Smith closed out the song with a poignant message, singing, “Nobody gets an easy ride / We all have a cross to bear / But there’s wisdom in the fire / And every moment is an opportunity / Embrace the journey.”
The single "You Can Make It," released on June 28, carries a message of hope and resilience. In an Instagram post, Smith shared the personal significance of the song, stating, "Through some of my darkest moments, music has always been there for me -- to lift me and help me grow. It's my humble wish that it can do the same for you and bring you all the joy and light you deserve."
