"
My Way" is a 1998
single from
Usher's 1997
album as the title track. It features an uncredited rap and background vocals from
Jermaine Dupri. 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. The song features in the Refrain part of the lyrics and the music of the song by
Lil' Troy "Wanna be a Baller" published officially one month before Usher's song.
