Will Smith is back with Beautiful Scars, a powerful new single featuring hip-hop heavyweight Big Sean and Obanga, released via SLANG Recordings. Alongside the track, the Grammy-winning artist, actor, and entertainer has officially announced his highly anticipated album, Based On A True Story, set to drop in March 2025, his first full-length project in over 20 years.
Produced by OmArr and LeXoskeleton, Beautiful Scars delves into the challenges of fame, personal growth, and redemption. Smith and Big Sean deliver introspective verses, reflecting on life’s struggles and the lessons learned along the way. The song’s message embraces the idea that our hardships shape us, serving as a testament to resilience and faith.
Based On A True Story will include previously released singles like You Can Make It, Work of Art, and TANTRUM—the latter being Smith’s explosive collaboration with Joyner Lucas, which dropped in December.
With Beautiful Scars, Smith sets the stage for a deeply personal and reflective album, marking a new chapter in his storied career.
