"The Id" is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Macy Gray, released on September 17, 2001, by Epic Records. The album did not achieve the same level of commercial success as its predecessor, On How Life Is. In the United States, The Id debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, selling 93,000 copies in its first week. By January 2004, it had sold 593,000 copies in the US. However, the album performed well internationally, topping the charts in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and reaching the top five in Australia, Italy, and Switzerland.
The Tom Morello remix of the track "My Nutmeg Phantasy" was included on the soundtrack for the 2002 film Spider-Man, while "Relating to a Psychopath" was featured in the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie Cadet Kelly.
