Just the Way You Are (Milky song)


"Just the Way You Are" is a song recorded by Italian house group Milky. Although it didn't chart in the band's home country, it was a top-ten hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart, and charted within the top 30 in Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Romania. In the United States, the single was the first song to make its official debut at number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart on the 17 October 2003 issue, even though it reached number one on the 28 September issue, when it was an unpublished chart.

Content

The track features the vocals of German singer Giuditta, whose lyrical "do-do-do's" make up the song's most memorable chorus line, with an Ibiza-influenced guitar beat, done over a pair of sampled tracks "Streets of Your Town" by the Australian pop group The Go-Betweens, and "Listen to What the Man Said" by Paul McCartney & Wings. McCartney and his late wife Linda both receive writing and production credits on the single because of the use of the song elements from "Listen." As do McLennan Forster because of the sample used.

Music video

For the song's video and promotional campaign during its chart run, Egyptian/German model Sabrina Elahl was used as the group's face instead of Giuditta.
