"We're Gonna Make It" is a 1965 R&B single by Little Milton. The single is the only Top 40 entry of his career and his highest charting R&B single, spending three weeks at number one on the U.S. R&B chart.[1]

The lyrics of the song offer a civil-rights metaphor, depicting the signs of the time period in which the song was released.[2]

The song was later covered by Millie Jackson on her 1982 album Hard Times.
