Singles from The Very Best of Macy Gray
  1. "Love Is Gonna Get You"

The Very Best of Macy Gray is the first greatest hits album (fourth overall) by American R&B/soul singer Macy Gray, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music). It contains eight hit singles from her first three albums plus two brand-new tracks (one of which is a cover of Aerosmith's 1975 "Walk This Way"), three remixes, three non-single tracks, and the track "Demons", a collaboration with Fatboy Slim from his 2000 album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars which had previously not been included on any of her albums. The album failed to attract much attention but nevertheless became another UK top forty album for Gray and charted moderately in other countries of Europe.
