My Way is the second studio album by Usher, released in September 1997 on LaFace Records and produced by Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, and Daryl Simmons. The album was a massive commercial breakthrough, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200 and eventually selling over eight million copies in the United States. The singles 'You Make Me Wanna...' and 'Nice & Slow' both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, establishing Usher as a dominant force in late-1990s R&B. The record showcased a more mature vocal performance than his debut, with Jermaine Dupri's production providing a sleek, polished backdrop that balanced hip-hop rhythms with classic soul influences. My Way remains one of the defining R&B albums of its era.
