The 14-track album, featuring collaborations with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Teyana Taylor, is set for release on March 28, marking Smith's return to music since 2005.

Will Smith's new album, 'Based on a True Story,' will be released on March 28, marking his first studio album since 2005's 'Lost and Found.'
The 14-track project includes previously released singles such as 'First Love,' 'Beautiful Scars,' and 'You Can Make It,' which recently topped the Billboard Gospel Airplay Chart.
Collaborators on the album include DJ Jazzy Jeff, Teyana Taylor, Jac Ross, Joyner Lucas, and Big Sean, among others.
Smith has hinted at plans for 'Based on a True Story' to be part of a trilogy, describing it as akin to 'three seasons of a TV musical show.'
To promote the album, Smith recreated a nostalgic 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' moment on TikTok with co-star Tatyana Ali and artist Doechii, blending past and present in his signature style.
