``The Way'' is a song recorded by American singer Ariana Grande for her debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013). It was written by the song's producer Harmony Samuels, alongside Amber Streeter, Al Sherrod Lambert, Jordin Sparks, Brenda Russell, and Mac Miller, who is featured in the song. ``The Way'' was released on March 25, 2013 by Republic Records as the lead single from Yours Truly. The song's backing track is based on the piano melody from Russell's 1979 song ``A Little Bit of Love'', and the song has melodic and lyrical similarities to Big Pun's 1998 song ``Still Not a Player'', which also samples ``A Little Bit of Love''.
