"My Way" is a song from American singer-songwriter Usher's 1997 album of the same name. It features an uncredited rap and background vocals from Jermaine Dupri.

Music video[edit]

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.[1]

Release and reception[edit]

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,[2] and in 2021, American Songwriter ranked the song number two on their list of the 10 greatest Usher songs.[3]
