Singles from The Trouble with Being Myself
  1. "When I See You"
  2. "She Ain't Right for You"

The Trouble with Being Myself is the third studio album by American R&B/soul singer Macy Gray, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music). Despite not being a major success for Gray, it received mostly positive reviews and remains a favorite with many fans. The album features the singles "When I See You" and "She Ain't Right for You". It has since been considered a failure, especially in the UK, where it reached number seventeen after Gray's first two albums reached number three and number one respectively. It also debuted at a disappointing number forty-four on the Billboard 200, falling to number forty-seven the next week.
