Hayes' first solo album Spin was released in 2002, carrying on in the same musical vein as Savage Garden, with a less soft rock sound and more edgy R&B vibe, although the first single Insatiable was a ballad, reaching Number 3 in Australia. Other singles "Strange Relationship", "Crush (1980 Me)" and "I Miss You" also performed well in charts.
Hayes spent two years working on his second solo album, The Tension And The Spark. Other than the track "I Forgive You" which was produced with Madonna collaborator Marius De Vries, the entire album was produced by Darren himself and Robert Conley (with whom he had previously toured and recorded Crush (1980 Me) for Spin). The album marked a bold change of direction from Hayes. Conley's production was almost entirely electronic, with acoustic instruments buried under walls of sequenced sounds. Although artistically this was a huge step forward and earned Hayes the strongest praise of his career, it seemed to alienate a large portion of his audience who were expecting another album of radio friendly pop songs. The first single Pop!ular was released on July 12, 2004. This single reached Number One on the US Dance Charts, and fared well in the UK. His follow up single, Darkness, failed to chart, leaving Dublin Sky - the planned third release - in limbo. Ironically, "Dublin Sky" was considered by many to be one of the strongest and most accessible songs on the album and the most likely to be a hit.
Truly Madly Completely, Savage Gardens greatest hits album was released in late 2005 and featured two new songs - So Beautiful and California. The tour, 'A Big Night In with Darren Hayes' followed in 2006. In July 2006, Hayes announced that he had married his boyfriend of two years, Richard Cullen, in a Civil Partnership Ceremony.
Hayes released a double album, This Delicate Thing We've Made, on 20 August 2007 on his newly formed independent label ''Powdered Sugar''. "The record features 25 songs recorded with the help of a Vintage 1983 Fairlight CMI syth - a cinematic, theatrical and epic Pop Opus." The first single to come from Hayes' third album was On the Verge of Something Wonderful to be followed by Me, Myself and (I) later in 2007.
In mid 2010, Hayes announced the completion of this fourth solo album. It is being mixed by Robert Orton. The album will be released in 2011.
The first single from Darren's new album Secret Codes and Battleships is called 'Talk Talk Talk' and will be released on iTunes worldwide on June 24 the same day it is delivered to radio and the music video is released online and debuts on T.V.
Darren wrote and recorded the song in Sweden with producer Carl Falk - it was mixed by Robert Orton and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
On iTunes there'll also be a b-side - Darren's cover version of Madonna's 'Angel'.
2022: Do You Remember?
On 26 January 2022, Hayes released a new single, "Let's Try Being in Love". A music video for the song was released the same day, starring Hayes and featuring actor Scott Evans. The video was directed by Andrew Putschoegl.[20] Referred to as a "queer anthem"[21] by NME, in promotional interviews, Hayes explained βIβve been married to Richard [Cullen] for almost 17 years, [and] Iβm in this really comfortable place in my life. But at the same time at mid-life Iβm grieving the fact I never got to celebrate who I really was at the period of my life where I was most famous. I look at this world we live in now where someone like Lil Nas X can push forward his true self, full of pride and self-love and have the chance to be loved for who he truly is [...] A lot of the time I was my most famous, I was deeply sad.β Less than 24 hours of release, "Let's Try Being in Love" debuted at number 96 on the Official UK Singles Download Chart Top 100 and at number 98 on the Official UK Singles Sales Chart Top 100.[22][23] βI wanted to show I love the feminine in me, be proud of the gay me. Thereβs a dance scene that is so passionate, everythingβs alive and thriving and blooming. Thatβs how I feel in general about music. And thatβs a hugely sharp contrast to how I felt 10 years ago.β
On 27 January 2022, Hayes announced he would be headlining the 2022 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade and would be performing on 5 March 2022.[24] Hayes performed "The Animal Song", "I Want You", "Affirmation" plus, live for the very first time, "Let's Try Being in Love".[25][26][27]
Since 2013, Hayes stopped his music career and tried to build stand-up comedy career. At the same time, he kept creating short singing videos in his social media accounts for his fans. In 2018 Hayes briefly returned on stage with one-off performance of two songs, including "I Knew I Loved You". In 2019, Hayes featured on Cub Sportβs single βI Never Cried So Much in My Whole Lifeβ. He did not appear in the official video. In 2020 he recorded a new version of "Truly Madly Deeply" with slightly modified lyrics. The video of his studio performance was released on YouTube on 24 April.
On 2 March 2022, Hayes announced the "Do You Remember?" Tour that would be performed in six Australian cities between January and February 2023 and would feature songs from his musical career as part of Savage Garden and as a solo artist. On 10 March 2022, Hayes released the single "Do You Remember?",[28][29][30] following with the official video on 16 March 2022.[31]

Insatiable (Calderone Club Mix
Darren Hayes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside somewhere below
The world revolves, I let it go
We build our church above this street
We practice love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin, I'm stained in you
There's a racing within my heart
And I am barely touching you
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words
There's only truth
Breathe in, breathe out
There is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate, our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor
And nobody knows you like I do
'Cause the world, they don't understand
But I grow stronger in your hands
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
We never sleep, we're always holdin' hands
Kissin' for hours, talkin', makin' plans
I feel like a better man
Just being in the same room
We never sleep, there's just so much to do
So much to say
Can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable, the way I'm loving you
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
When I look in your eyes
Insatiable
The way I'm Loving you
Oh, what can I do
Insatiable for you

Line by Line Meaning
When moonlight crawls along the street
As the moonlight illuminates the city streets slowly, I'm reminded of the possibilities ahead
Chasing away the summer heat
As the moonlight shines, the hot summer is replaced with a cool atmosphere
Footsteps outside somewhere below
I hear footsteps outside that sounds like they are moving away
The world revolves, I let it go
The world carries on, but I am willing to let it continue without me as long as I have my love by my side
We build our church above this street
Our love is our sanctuary, and we have built our love on this street, living our lives together
We practice love between these sheets
We express our love passionately and intimately in the safety of our bed
The candy sweetness scent of you
The aroma of my lover is sweet like candy, and it is a pleasurable scent that I love to indulge in
It bathes my skin, I'm stained in you
The scent of my lover covers my skin and reminds me of our intimate moments
And all I have to do is hold you
When I'm with my lover, I feel at peace, and holding them is enough to make me feel complete
There's a racing within my heart
My heart races with excitement and anticipation when I am near my lover
And I am barely touching you
Even a slight touch from me sends shivers down your spine because our love is so intense
Turn the lights down low
The dim lighting sets the mood for an intimate moment between us
Take it off
Removing clothing signifies our desire for each other and our readiness to express that desire in intimate ways
Let me show
I want you to see how much I love you and how passionate I am
My love for you is Insatiable
My love for you is limitless and insatiable because I can never get enough of you
Turn me on
Your touch and presence turn me on and awaken my deepest desires for you
Never stop
Let's keep going all night long and never stop expressing our love for each other
Wanna taste every drop
I want to experience every aspect of your love and savor every moment with you
The moonlight plays upon your skin
The moonlight reveals the beauty of my lover's skin, and it is a sight to behold
A kiss that lingers takes me in
Your kisses are slow and romantic, and they transport me to a place of pure love and intimacy
I fall asleep inside of you
In your arms, I feel safe and secure enough to fall asleep, knowing that you are there to protect me
There are no words
No words can express the deep love and connection we share, and sometimes it's better not to speak and just be in the moment
There's only truth
The truth is that our love is real, and it's the only thing that matters in this moment
Breathe in, breathe out
The act of breathing together embodies our unity and love for each other
There is no sound
In this moment, all we need is each other, and there is no need for any external distractions
We move together up and down
Our bodies move in unison, expressing our love in a physical and intimate manner
We levitate, our bodies soar
The energy and passion that we share makes us feel like we are floating above everything else, away from the material world
Our feet don't even touch the floor
We are so lost in our love for each other that the physical world no longer matters to us
And nobody knows you like I do
I know your innermost thoughts and desires, and I understand you at a level that no one else ever could
'Cause the world, they don't understand
Our love is so unique and special that other people can't comprehend it, so we keep it between us
But I grow stronger in your hands
Your touch and love strengthen me and make me feel more alive than ever before
We never sleep, we're always holdin' hands
Even when we sleep, we hold onto each other, never wanting to let go and always feeling connected
Kissin' for hours, talkin', makin' plans
We spend hours just kissing and talking about our future together, making plans for our life together
I feel like a better man
Your love has made me a better person, and I am grateful for everything that you bring into my life
Just being in the same room
Your mere presence in the same room is enough to make me happy and content
We never sleep, there's just so much to do
We are always too busy loving each other and enjoying life to sleep, finding new and exciting things to do together
So much to say
Our love is so deep and complex that there is always something new to talk about and explore together
Can't close my eyes when I'm with you
I am too afraid to close my eyes and miss a single moment with you, even if it means sacrificing sleep
When I look in your eyes
Looking into your eyes reveals the depth of our love and connection
Oh, what can I do
I am powerless over my love for you and am compelled to express it in every way possible
Insatiable for you
My love for you is insatiable, and I will never tire of expressing it and exploring it with you
