## Background

On August 14, 2016, Grande shared a few snippets of a new song via Snapchat, this is the demo whose instrumental was given to the rapper 24hrs. The title of the song was unknown until Grande confirmed she had a song called "My Way" a few weeks later.

On May 30, 2018, Grande again confirmed that "My Way" and her song "Sober" would not be released as they weren't meaningful enough for her album, *Sweetener*.

On January 13, 2023 Y/N shared a new snippet. The first two versions of the song leaked on February 11, 2023 along with "Bad to You" (Demo).

On September 5, 2023, Y/N said during the soundcheck that the song My Way might appear on the album after 6 year of people knowing the song because of teasing the song.

## Trivia

* This song is one of four songs that serves as "Part 2" of the breakup/heartbreak side of the album.
* The song is about learning that the person you were interested in was just like the others but somehow still managed to get your attention and keep you around. It’s also about trusting someone that shouldn’t have been trusted.

**[Intro]**

Yeah

**[Verse 1]**

Could tell your words is all for show

Actions just play a different role

Know how to keep me on my toes

And I guess I been way too accessible

You keep my presence though, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Shit, you give off all these different vibes,

I couldn't tell if it's you or me, that's in doubt

But I don't sleep any less

Must be a lucky guess

Know you the same as the rest of 'em

Stay unaccessible, yeah

**[Chorus]**

I guess I like learning lessons all the hard way

It take every ounce of effort just to parley

Boy, it's always in my favor, it go my way, my way (My way)

I guess I like learning lessons all the hard way

It take every ounce of effort just to parley

But it's always in my favor, it go my way, my way

My way

**[Post-Chorus]**

I get it my way

My way or the highway

You ain't saying shit, ain't got no time for the mind games

I get it my way

Yeah, I get it my way

I get it my way

Yeah, get it my way

**[Verse 2]**

I don't gotta hit back, or reply

Boy, you better keep one, or think twice

Notice I'm the best one to keep by

Guess I shouldn't stay so accessible

You keep my presence though, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

You one of them ones

You keep me on the edge and fuckin' then some

But I don't sleep any less

Must be a lucky guess

Know you the same as the rest of 'em

Stay unaccessible, yeah

**[Chorus]**

I guess I like learning lessons all the hard way

It take every ounce of effort just to parley

I guess I like learning lessons all the hard way

It take every ounce of effort just to parley

But it's always in my favor, it go my way, my way
