"My Way" is a song by American singer-songwriter Usher, released by LaFace and Arista Records on June 9, 1997 as the third single from his album of the same name (1997). The song was written by Usher alongside its producers, Manuel Seal and Jermaine Dupri, the latter of whom provides an uncredited guest appearance and backing vocals.

Music video

It was filmed and released in 1998 at a broken down garage in a desert location. It features a dance competition between two groups, one led by Usher and the other led by Tyrese Gibson. The music video on YouTube has received over 30 million views as of May 2024.

Release and reception

Despite moderate airplay, the single sold well and reached number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Due to the disappointment of the "Nice and Slow" single in the United Kingdom, "My Way" was not released as a single there. In 2016, Complex ranked "My Way" number ten on their list of the 25 greatest Usher songs, and in 2021, American Songwriter ranked the song number two on their list of the 10 greatest Usher songs.
