"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.^{[citation needed]}

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. The music video, including all internal and external shots, was shot at Brocket Hall near Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.
