Gravity is Our Lady Peace's fifth album. It was released on June 18, 2002 by Sony Records. The album became a worldwide success, topping charts both in Canada and the USA with many hit singles, most notably "Somewhere Out There". The album title, Gravity, was inspired by the chorus lyrics "Falling back to me, defying Gravity" from Gravity's single, "Somewhere Out There".

Despite it's success, many critics panned the album. They said the album developed a more extreme "mainstream sound" and was "overproduced", this may have been partly due to new producer Bob Rock of Aerosmith and Metallica fame. This album was a big change from their last successful album, Happiness... Vocalist Raine Maida's falsetto is completely gone from this album. Instead, a more clean, mainstream sound is introduced.

On November 26, 2002 a Deluxe Limited Edition version of the album was released. This version, with a different cover, came with a special bonus DVD of live tracks and music videos (see below). The back cover states that the live tracks were recorded on the Spiritual Machines Tour of 2001. The following text is also included:

"The Spiritual Machines tour cemented the connection we have with our fans and inspired us to make Gravity as quickly as we did. The four live songs are a small glimpse of that special tour." - Our Lady Peace

"Somewhere Out There" was played over the ending credits to the 2005 film White Noise.
