"Still" is a song by American singer Macy Gray from her debut studio album, On How Life Is (1999). It was released as the album's third single in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2000, and in the United States on September 26, 2000. The song details a troubled relationship between a woman and a man who is abusive towards her.
"Still" became Gray's second consecutive top-40 single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 18. In the United States, while failing to enter the Billboard Hot 100, the single reached number 32 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart. Elsewhere, the song reached number eight in New Zealand and number 12 in Iceland.
