'''"1,000,000"''' is the second track of the Nine Inch Nails album ''[[The Slip]].'' It flows directly from the sudden end of "[[999,999]]." The song is similar to "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]" in that it opens the record following a short instrumental ("999,999," like "Wish" following "[[Pinion]]") and is at nearly the same tempo ("Wish" is at 135 BPM).
The idea of the narrator being or feeling "a million miles away," as sung in this song during the chorus, seems to reference or relate to the same idea as sung first in "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]." It would also be mentioned again in "[[All The Love In The World]]." Whether the three songs are all specifically related beyond [[Recurring_lyrics#A_Million_Miles_Away|repetition of the phrase]] is publicly unverified.
The song's accompanying artwork is constructed of a '1' and six '0's. Also the one could possibly be a person slipping off the edge of a building, represented by the stack of zeroes. This would coincide with the lyrics. The artwork also resembles, like the artwork for the track "[[Discipline]]," the part of the Art is Resistance logo with the star. In the Limited Edition CD/DVD insert, there are two red lines in the artwork, one originating in the center of the bottom box on the left, and one originating in the middle box on the right. Both lines continue straight downward and off the page.
[[Multitracks]] for this song (and all others from ''The Slip'') were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin.com]]. While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.

This is the original album version. The song shares a similar structure with "[[The Collector]]," notably how the songs begin, each with a drumming intro and following with a string instrument ("The Collector" had a bass while "1,000,000" has a guitar) which then leads into the lyrics. Perhaps its most notable feature is its structure, which separates the final chorus from the coda via Reznor's lone voice and ensuing silence before drums and guitar blast back in. Its sudden ending leads immediately into "[[Letting You]]."
