Global Superstar Saweetie Drops New Single 'Is It The Way'

Multi-platinum-selling recording artist and entrepreneur Saweetie returns off the heels of a very eventful summer with her new single “IS IT THE WAY” - released via Warner Records. Sampling Jill Scott’s classic “The Way,” Saweetie adds her own unique flavor to the track with her empowering verses. Dedicated to women around the world, the song celebrates strength, individuality, and showcases the ICY Girl mentality.
