"The Way I Am" is a pop song by German singer Sandra, written by Jens Gad, Sandra and Andru Donalds, and produced by Gad. It was released as the lead single from Sandra's eighth studio album The Art of Love in January 2007. The single included two non-album tracks, "Logical Love" and "Sleep", the latter an alternative version of the track "Casino Royale" from The Art of Love. "Sleep" is a cover of "Sleep with Me" released by Polish singer Edyta Górniak in 2002, which in turn has been originally performed by electronic act Conjure One featuring singer Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo. "The Way I Am" was moderately successful on the German singles chart. No official music video has been filmed for the song.
