The song has a guitar playing a distorted riff in the verses and DJ Lethal plays and scratches a sample of "My Melody" from the groundbreaking 1987 album "Paid in Full" by Eric B. & Rakim.
The music video for My Way is a departure from the perceived serious tone of the song itself, which according to Fred Durst was done because "bands tend to take themselves way too seriously". Also, as the video doesn't follow any specific theme, and was basically done however the band wanted without restriction, it does follow the theme of the song in that sense.
At the beginning of the video, Durst and Wes Borland are conversing on what should be done for the video, as the two have no ideas, and Durst suggest they check 'wardrobe' for ideas. The video then follows the groups various antics as they attempt to film the video in a variety of settings, including:
- A big band where Fred Durst conducts the rest of the band to play.
- A Line of motorcycles on which the band ride.
- A jungle with the band dressed up as cavemen.
At the end of the motorcycle scene, the band gets up and leaves, looking angry. At the end of the caveman scene, Fred Durst takes a big boulder and throws it at Wes Borland. In the end of orchestra scene, the band just walks away.
The video also shows scenes of the band members trying on various costumes, notably a two-piece horse costume, among others.
