Abstract: We give yet another proof for Fa`{a} di Bruno's formula for higher derivatives of composite functions. Our proof technique relies on reinterpreting the composition of two power series as the generating function for weighted integer compositions, for which a Fa`{a} di Bruno-like formula is quite naturally established.
