"The Way"
Song

"The Way" is the second single by American singer-songwriter and actress Ariana Grande. The song features American Rapper Mac Miller.

Although it is her second single, It is considered the first since she is not sure whether or not her first single Put Your Hearts Up will be on the album or not.

Composition

After being tweeted by Mac Miller in October, the two became friends, and eventually started writing songs together. In December they released a cover of the classic Christmas song Baby, It's Cold Outside. After a while they wrote more songs. In January 2013 Ariana called Mac and asked him to be in one of her songs, and a music video to go along with it. He agreed to do so after he finished touching up his mixtape
