"Your Own Special Way" was Mike Rutherford's song, words and music, and Genesis cut it down to size for the lone single from Wind & Wuthering, the eighth studio album they released at the tail end of 1976. Phil Collins sings it, and the band produced it with David Hentschel, who also engineered.
It's a laid-back, easy-rolling thing, a long way from much of what Genesis had done before, and it pointed straight at the hits to come, "Follow You Follow Me" on the very next album among them. It also gave the band their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where it reached 62, and it was the last single they released with Steve Hackett on guitar until a 1999 re-recording of "The Carpet Crawlers".
