"My Way" is a 1998 single from Usher's 1997 album My Way. Despite moderate airplay, the single sold well and reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its rise to #1, however, was halted due to the success of the mega-hit "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy and Monica, during its 13 week run atop the summit. Due to the disappointment of the "Nice and Slow" single in the U.K., "My Way" was not released as a single there.

Rapper Lil' Troy interpolates "My Way" in the chorus of his song "Wanna Be a Baller".
