"In Your Own Sweet Way" is a 1955 jazz standard, and one of the most famous compositions by Dave Brubeck. It was written around 1952,[1] but its copyright notice was dated 1955.[2] Brubeck's wife Iola, for whom the song was written,[3] later wrote a lyric for the song, which led to singers such as Carmen McRae recording it.[4] "In Your Own Sweet Way" was first released on Brubeck's 1956 studio album Brubeck Plays Brubeck; an earlier live recording is known.
