"Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" is a song by American singer Toni Braxton. It was written by Braxton, Johntá Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox and Kendrick "WyldCard" Dean for Braxton's sixth studio album, Libra (2005), while production was overseen by Cox, with co-production from Keri Lewis and additional production by Dean. Selected as the album's second single, the piano-heavy R&B ballad was released to US radios on September 26, 2005 by Blackground Records, followed by a European release in fall 2005. Commercially, it missed the US Billboard Hot 100 and charted outside the top sixty of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. No music video was made for the song.

Critical reception

Billboard's Chuck Taylor found that "Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" seems "like a track designed for Ciara, Ashanti or some other minor talent. It is not displeasing, but Braxton comes across as more of a response singer to the chorus of background singers [...] This one just doesn't measure up."
