"My Way" came off Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, Limp Bizkit's third album, as its fourth single, and it doubled as the theme for the World Wrestling Federation's WrestleMania X-Seven, which tells you how far the band's swagger had carried them. Wes Borland, Sam Rivers and John Otto built the music, Fred Durst wrote the words, and Eric B., Rakim and DJ Lethal share a writing credit. Terry Date produced with the band, Josh Abraham and Scott Weiland added production, and Andy Wallace mixed.

It's a slinky, brooding nu metal grind that coils tight before the chorus snaps. The video turns into a costume-box romp, with Durst conducting a big band, the group riding a line of motorcycles and everyone dressed as cavemen in a jungle. Louder Sound and Kerrang! both placed it near the top of their Limp Bizkit rankings in 2022.
