Ovrkast. and Flywilliums built "Make Them Pay" around a 70's reggae cover of Denice Williams. Drake uses the vocal refrain "I just wanna be free" to anchor the entire track, turning a 50-year-old soul lyric into a statement about fame, independence, and the weight of public scrutiny. "Make Them Pay" arrived as part of Drake's surprise triple-album drop, ICEMAN, the first studio album from the Toronto rapper since his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar.
