The Way It Is is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole; it was released on June 21, 2005, by A&M Records. The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 and was supported by five singles, including "Never", "I Changed My Mind", "(I Just Want It) To Be Over", "I Should Have Cheated", and "Love" The album was certified gold within 17 weeks, and then platinum only eight weeks later
With only a couple exceptions, The Way It Is is about the ugly parts of a romantic relationship, so there's little room left for upbeat material. "Love," one of the positive songs, comes after the song where the punk gets dumped and before the song where he's called out for changing.
The album was released on September 25,2007 through Geffen Records and it was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards that was held February 2008, but lost to Ne-Yos Because of You. As of December 2007, the album has certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. Cole started work on her second album shortly after the release of her debut album, im truly lovin it, I listen to it myself. The album was promoted with the season of her reality show Keyshia Cole, The Way It Is. Just Like You debuted at two on the U. S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 281,419 copies in its first week.
