After a long break from the music scene, Will Smith is back with a bang! The actor-turned-musician has just dropped “Beautiful Scars”, a reflective new single that features hip-hop star Big Sean and Obanga. Released through SLANG Recordings, the track explores themes of fame, personal growth, and learning to embrace the challenges life throws at you. With Will and Big Sean each laying down introspective verses, the song is both soulful and thought-provoking.
Produced by OmArr and LeXoskeleton, “Beautiful Scars” brings together smooth beats and powerful lyricism. Will and Big Sean open up about their struggles, showing how those tough moments have made them who they are today. It’s an anthem of resilience, and it’s impossible not to feel the depth of emotion behind every word.
On top of the new single, Will Smith has some exciting news for fans: his new album Based On A True Story is coming in March 2025. This is Will’s first full album in more than 20 years, and it’s sure to be worth the wait. Along with new tracks, the album will feature some familiar hits like You Can Make It, Work of Art, and TANTRUM, his epic collab with Joyner Lucas.
The Beautiful Scars music video is just as engaging, with a high-energy, cinematic style that’s packed with action and humor. Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (the masterminds behind Bad Boys 4), the video kicks off with Big Sean offering Will the famous red or blue pill from The Matrix. In a fun twist, Will takes both, launching into an adventure filled with martial arts, shootouts, and a whole lot of fun. The video even features product placements from Stellantis (Grand Wagoneer) and Chilli Beans Sunglasses, adding a little extra flair.
Will Smith’s Based On A True Story is shaping up to be a big one, blending deep lyrics, top-tier storytelling, and Will’s legendary charisma. The best part? Fans are in for a lot more than just great music. The full album is coming soon, and it’s bound to make waves.
