It was released on July 1, 1999, by Epic Records. Produced by Andrew Slater, it became Gray's best-selling album to date, selling 3.2 million copies in the United States and seven million copies worldwide.[1][2] The album's second single, "I Try", became an international hit, topping the charts in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand,[3][4] while reaching number five on the US Billboard Hot 100.[5] The song also won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2001.[6] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[7] | rev2 = The Baltimore Sun | rev2score = {{Rating|3|4}}[8] | rev3 = Chicago Sun-Times | rev3score = {{Rating|3.5|4}}[9] | rev4 = Entertainment Weekly | rev4score = B[10] | rev5 = The Guardian | rev5score = {{Rating|4|5}}[11] | rev6 = Los Angeles Times | rev6Score = {{Rating|3|4}}[12] | rev7 = Muzik | rev7score = {{Rating|4|5}}[13] | rev8 = Q | rev8score = {{Rating|4|5}}[14] | rev9 = Rolling Stone | rev9score = {{Rating|3|5}}[15] | rev10 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev10Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[16] }}On How Life Is was met with highly positive reviews from music critics upon its release, with many praising Gray's songwriting and vocal performance. Q rated the album four out of five stars, calling it a "confident, bluesy soul debut [...] with a lived-in sound – as if Rod Stewart were a girl."[14] Track listing{{Track listing| all_lyrics = Macy Gray | title1 = Why Didn't You Call Me | music1 = Jeremy Ruzumna | length1 = 3:14 | title2 = Do Something | music2 = {{hlist|Patrick Brown|Raymon Murray|Rico Wade|Cameron Gipp|Thomas Burton|André Benjamin|Antwan Patton|Greg Mays|Darryl Barnes|Ruzumna|Darryl Swann|Robert Barnett|Dion Derek Murdock|George Clinton, Jr.|Garry Shider|Bernard Worrell}} | length2 = 4:57 | title3 = Caligula | music3 = {{hlist|Gray|Swann|Ruzumna}} | length3 = 4:38 | title4 = I Try | music4 = {{hlist|Gray|Ruzumna|Jinsoo Lim|David Wilder}} | length4 = 3:59 | title5 = Sex-o-matic Venus Freak | music5 = {{hlist|Ruzumna|Murdock}} | length5 = 3:57 | title6 = I Can't Wait to Meetchu | music6 = {{hlist|Ruzumna|Swann|Miles Tackett}} | length6 = 5:18 | title7 = Still | music7 = {{hlist|Ruzumna|Bill Esses}} | length7 = 4:15 | title8 = I've Committed Murder | music8 = {{hlist|Swann|Kiilu Beckwith|Ruzumna|Eddie Harris|Francis Lai|Carl Sigman}} | length8 = 4:59 | title9 = A Moment to Myself | music9 = {{hlist|Ruzumna|Tackett|Mark Morales|Damon Yu Wimbley}} | length9 = 4:00 | title10 = The Letter | music10 = {{hlist|Matt Sherrod|Jamie Houston}} | length10 = 5:38 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Australian and Japanese edition bonus track[17][19] | title11 = Rather Hazy | music11 = Gray | length11 = 3:10 }}Sample credits
