O álbum *The Payback* é o 37º disco de estúdio de James Brown.
Originalmente programado como trilha sonora do filme blaxploitation de 1973 *Hell Up in Harlem*, acabou não sendo usado no longa‑filme e foi lançado como álbum independente em dezembro de 1973 pela Polydor Records.
Considerado um dos altos pontos da carreira de Brown, *The Payback* é reconhecido por críticos como um marco do funk.
A faixa-título, com temática de vingança, alcançou o #1 na Billboard R&B e é uma das canções mais famosas do artista.
A música tem sido amplamente sampleada, influenciando inúmeras produções posteriores.
