"That's the Way (My Love Is)" was the second single from Zeitgeist, the Smashing Pumpkins' 2007 album on Reprise, and also its last: it went to radio in August, with a retail release following in September. Billy Corgan wrote it alone and produced it with Jimmy Chamberlin and Terry Date.
By Corgan's own account, it first came out sounding like something left off Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness back in 1995, so in the studio they slowed it down and swapped in a new drum beat, easing it toward something gauzier and more patient than the old Pumpkins roar. The band played it on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 13, 2007, and some pressings of the single threw in a solo live take of "Daydream", Corgan alone with his guitar in Berlin.
