"Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" is a song by American R&B singer–songwriter Toni Braxton from her fifth studio album, Libra (2005). Written by Bryan-Michael Cox, Kendrick Dean, Johntá Austin, and Braxton and produced by Cox, the song was released to U.S. radio on September 26, 2005 as the album's second single. Like other singles from Libra, lack of promotion from Blackground Records affected the single's chart performance; it missed the Billboard Hot 100 and charted outside the top sixty of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Subsequently, no music video was filmed for the single.
