"The Payback" (sometimes known as just "Payback") is a funk song by James Brown, the title track from his 1974 album of the same name. The song's lyrics, originally written by trombonist and bandleader Fred Wesley but heavily revised by Brown himself soon before it was recorded, concern the revenge he plans to take against the man who betrayed him and stole his money and his woman.

- "The Payback" (sometimes known as just "Payback") is a funk song by James Brown, the title track from his 1974 album of the same name. The song's lyrics, originally written by trombonist and bandleader Fred Wesley but heavily revised by Brown himself soon before it was recorded, concern the revenge he plans to take against the man who betrayed him and stole his money and his woman. The song is notable for its spare, open instrumental arrangement and its use of wah-wah guitar - a relative rarity in Brown's previous funk recordings. Released as a two-part single (featuring a radio announcer at the beginning of part one) in February of 1974, it was the first in an unbroken succession of three singles by Brown to reach #1 on the R&B charts that year - the last chart-toppers of his career. The single was number one on the soul charts and peaked at number twenty-six on the Hot 100.. "The Payback" has been sampled by numerous hip hop and R&B producers. The group En Vogue recorded two different R&B hits, "Hold On" and "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)", that were both based on loops from the song's rhythm track. Total sampled "The Payback" in their 1995 hit "Can't You See". R&B Group Silk "Happy Days" which features Keith Sweat sampled "The Payback" on their 1992 debut album, Lose Control. Big Black released a loose cover of the song on their 1984 Racer-X EP. Brown released "Rapp Payback (Where Iz Moses)", a reworking of "The Payback", in 1980. It was also remade in 1988, remixed and released as "The Payback Mix (Part One)" for the United Kingdom. This versions was one of Brown's biggest hits in the UK, reaching #12 on the UK singles chart.
