"Just the Way You Are" is a song by Italian house music group Milky, released as their debut single in August 2002. Although it did not chart in the band's home country, it was a top-10 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, it was the first official number-one single on the Billboard Dance Radio Airplay chart, although it had already reached number one when it was still an unpublished chart.

The track features an Ibiza-influenced guitar sound, courtesy of a sample of "Streets of Your Town" by the Australian pop group the Go-Betweens.[ citation needed ] The vocals are by singer Giuditta Gazza, whose lyrical "do-do-do's" make up the song's chorus line and interpolate "Listen to What the Man Said" by Paul McCartney & Wings.

Music video

For the song's video and promotional campaign during its chart run, Egyptian-German model Sabrina Elahl is featured in the music video instead of Giuditta.
