13:46 PM"I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" was written and produced by Teddy Riley, Bernard Belle, and David Way. It became Hi-Five's breakout charting single, leading to five more Top 40 hits on the Billboard charts in just three short years for the R&B group. The song is a great example of the New Jack Swing genre. -- “I Like The Way” is an ode to young love, and its tender sweetness sets it apart.
