"How Many Ways" is a song by American singer Toni Braxton. It was written by Toni Braxton, Ben Garrison, and Noel Goring for her eponymous debut studio album (1993), while production was helmed by Vincent Herbert. The song is built around a sample of "God Make Me Funky" (1975) by American jazz-fusion band The Headhunters featuring Pointer Sisters. Due to the inclusion of the sample, several other writers are credited as songwriters. Lyrically, the protagonist of the composition declares there are many ways in which she loves her man.
The sond was released in the United States in 1994 with both songs ion a double-A-side along with "I Belong to You". It peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 21, 1995.[3] A remix version of "How Many Ways", produced by R. Kelly, also was released to radio and music television stations. An accompanying music video features Braxton and actor Shemar Moore riding in a car, frolicking in a playground, and on a veranda.
