"That's the Way (My Love Is)" is a song written by Billy Corgan and performed by The Smashing Pumpkins on their album Zeitgeist.

"That's the Way (My Love Is)" is the second, and final, commercial single from the album, and was released to radio in August 2007, with a retail single in September. The song was played live on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 13, 2007.[1]

Billy Corgan commented that the song initially sounded like an outtake from 1995's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,[2] but it was slowed down and given a different drum beat in the course of recording the song.[3]

Some of the formats of the physical single release contain a live solo performance of "Daydream" recorded on June 5, 2007 in Berlin, Germany, with Corgan on vocals and guitar.[4]
