Chart performance
"The Way Life Goes" debuted at number 39 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 for the chart dated September 23, 2017. In mid-December of the same year, it reached its new peak of 24 following an upsurge sparked by the Nicki Minaj assisted remix and visual.
Critical reception
Paul A. Thompson of 'Pitchfork' opined that "[In] 'The Way Life Goes,' which is produced by Don Cannon and Ike Beatz, Uzi opens with a brief introduction to the other half of his failed relationship, punctuated with, "I like that girl too much, I wish I never met her." From there, he launches into a full interpolation of the first verse from Oh Wonder's "Landslide": "I know it hurts sometimes, but youll get over it/Youll find another life to live." Uzi's less interested in the granular drama of the breakup than in the fallout, the moment three or four days later when reality starts to set in."
