"That's the Way of the World" is a 1990 song by British dance producer D Mob featuring singer Cathy Dennis.

[1] The accompanying music video was directed by British director Howard Greenhalgh.

Alex Henderson from AllMusic stated that "the more melodic and accessible nature of "deep house" is evident" on the song, adding it as a "very addictive" club hit that feature "likeable dance diva" Cathy Dennis.

"[4] David Giles from Music Week described it as "a fairy standard Brit-house track."

He added, "You're familiar with the formula by now I'm sure—stuttering piano, a beat that fades into the background after a while like a ticking clock, and throwaway bluesy soul female vocals.
