"The Way I Was" is a promotional single by the rock band Maroon 5. It is not from their renowned album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long". It is written by the whole band of Maroon 5 and was later on, finished after 15 minutes.

The single is available only in Japan exclusively released on CDs at some stores in Japan.

It is a non-album track, but its sales during its first day was 1,987. Its second day, 3,912 and for the first week, 4,821.

Reason for non-album tracking

It is a non-album track and is only included in the Makes Me Wonder single. It is planned to be the first single worldwide but Octone declined twice. The band want this to be the promotional single for the album and as they wish, it became (but just for Japan only). Recently, it was pulled out from Japan market and set to be replaced with "Wake Up Call" single on October 12, 2007.

Music Video

The band first stated in the MTV interview that they will make a video for that. But, as the time goes by, Adam Levine changed his mind and then focus to the release of Makes Me Wonder and Wake Up Call.

Fan reception

The fans of Maroon 5 really liked and favorited the song, that's why they requested a video for it which is very impossible because of the band's decision.

Critical reception

"It is great. I think this song is about reality. I don't know what we're thinkin' when we started to do this, but its great!" - Adam Levine

"Very simple and unique." - Melina
