"That's the Way It Is" is the lead single from Celine Dion's greatest hits album All the Way... A Decade of Song, released on 1 November 1999.
It was written and produced by Swedish producers Andreas Carlsson, Max Martin and Kristian Lundin, who have written a string of hit songs for artists such as NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.
"That's the Way It Is" starts out in the key of E major with a moderate tempo of 93 beats per minute. Throughout the verses, the song follows a chord progression of C♯m–A–B, and Dion's vocals span from B3 to E5.
The song has a bridge, and after the bridge is the chorus repeated, only in the key of A major.
Dion sang it live with NSYNC, during her 1999 CBS Special. She also performed "That's the Way It Is" at the Top of the Pops on 12 November, the 1999 Billboard Music Awards, the Bambi Awards on 11 December, The Rosie O'Donnell Show on 13 December, The Today Show on 31 December, and on the Let's Talk About Love Tour as the closing song. When Dion returned to the music scene after her 2 years off in 2002, the song was performed on her promotional tour for the A New Day Has Come album including a second time at The Today Show, The Early Show, and at The Concert For World Children's Day.
