"It's The Way You Make Me Feel" is a song by Steps, released as their twelfth single. It is the second track to be released from their third album Buzz. It is their first single to be a non PWL production. This was the first song the band performed following their official reformation in October 2011.
Contents
The single's b-side, a cover of Marvin Gaye's "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", was taken from the Motown Mania compilation.
Music video
The music video for the song featured the band members and supporting actors/dancers reenacting scenes from the movie Dangerous Liaisons. Band members H and Lee took turns playing Valmont, while Claire, Faye and Lisa took interchanging turns as the characters of Merteuil, Tourvel and Cécile. In the video and in subsequent live performances of the song, Claire and Faye exhibit fantastic vocals as always but Lisa seems to struggle with her lines. It is considered that her voice is not big enough for the song.

Chart performance
This song debuted at #72 on the British charts in the final chart of 2000, as some record stores made the single available a week early, and it sold enough copies to reach the lower end of the chart. The following week, after it was properly released on New Year's Day 2001, the single jumped 70 spots, peaking at #2 and spent 11 weeks on the charts.
