"The Payback" is a funk song by James Brown, the title track from his 1973 album of the same name.

The Payback is the 37th studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in December 1973, by Polydor Records . It was originally scheduled to become the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem , but was rejected by the film's producers, who dismissed it as "the same old James Brown stuff."
Flaw's vocalist Chris Volz spoke about the song's meaning saying ""Payback" basically was written a couple years ago. It's really kind of an intense song that goes back and forth between kind of anger and frustration for not really understandin' a lot of things in life, a lot of things that happen, a lot of things that people do to you that don't make sense or you wouldn't do to someone else.
The song is featured in a 2011 commercial for Gatorade. The song is featured in one of the first segments of Ken Burns' Baseball: The Tenth Inning. The song provided the title for both the novel Superbad by Ben Greenman and the Judd Apatow film of the same name. The song was released as downloadable content for Rock Band 3 on August 2, 2011.
