Wikipedia article
"'It's the Way You Make Me Feel'" is a song by British dance-pop group Steps, released as their 12th single on 1 January 2001. It is the second track to be released from their third album, 'Buzz', and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. This was the first song the band performed following their official reformation in October 2011. The single's B-side, a cover of Marvin Gaye's "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", was taken from the 'Motown Mania' compilation.
Chart performance
This song debuted at number 72 on the UK Singles Chart on the final chart of 2000, as some record stores made the single available a week early. During that period, 1,400 sales were recorded. The following week, after it was properly released on New Year's Day 2001, the single set the record for the largest jump on the UK chart by leaping 70 places to number two, selling 53,400 copies. Steps held this record for eight years, until "Boys and Girls" by British singer Pixie Lott rose 72 places from number 73 to number one in September 2009. "It's the Way You Make Me Feel" stayed on the chart for nine more weeks and ended 2001 as the UK's 62nd-best-selling hit. Outside the UK, the track peaked at number eight in Ireland and number 32 in the Flanders region of Belgium.
Music video
The music video for the song featured the band members and supporting actors/dancers reenacting scenes from the movie 'Dangerous Liaisons'. Band members H and Lee took turns playing Valmont, while Claire, Faye and Lisa took interchanging turns as the characters of Merteuil, Tourvel and Ccile.
The music video, including all internal and external shots, was shot at Brocket Hall near Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.
