"Modern Way" is the fourth and final single released from English indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs' 2005 debut album, Employment, on 7 November 2005.

[2] It tells of the success of William Green, a juggler who has a unique skill for balancing tennis balls on his face, and the impact that he has made on the public.

[9] Pitchfork's Joe Tangari reviewed the album and called Modern Way "the only song on the LP that is truly dynamic" praising the "fluid verses" and build up to the "towering chorus".

[10] One of Kaiser Chiefs' contemporary bands from Yorkshire, the Cribs, covered "Modern Way" in 2005, as a B-side to their single "Mirror Kissers".

[15] In 2006, the song was reworked for the Buena Vista Social Club album Rhythms del Mundo.
