Goodrem has to date achieved nine #1 ARIA singles and multiple UK Top 10 singles. Her debut album, 2003's Innocent Eyes, made her one of Australia's highest-selling female recording artists, spending 29 weeks at #1, and selling over a million copies in Australia and 2.5 million worldwide. While 2004's Mistaken Identity was unable to match the commercial success of its predecessor, it entered the ARIA charts at #1 and gained multi-platinum status. To date, Goodrem has sold 3.5 million albums worldwide. In 2005, she embarked on The Visualise Tour, her debut concert tour of Australia.
In 2003, at the age of 18 and amidst her blooming career, Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer. She has since made a full recovery and now spends much of her time promoting cancer charities.
Goodrem was invited to write and sing the theme song of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Named 'Together We Are One', the track was co-written with her ex, Brian McFadden and long-time collaborator Guy Chambers. 'Together We Are One' was not originally planned for release as a single, but due to Australian public demand, it was released and peaked at #2 on the official ARIA charts. She was later also invited to perform the theme for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, with "Welcome to Earth".

Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I give you everything
You could bring me down to my knees
Let's play your dangerous games
I'm coming down with something over and over again
Fever - when it's running through your veins
You're addicted to the pain
Fever - is when you're way over your head
I should be lying sick in bed
Cause I keep burning with this fever for you
There's so much in this world to do
I wanna I do it all with you
Our secret dance, from ancient times
And the rhythm of that love is
I'm coming down with something over and over again
Fever - when it's running through your veins
And your body goes insane
You're addicted to the pain
Fever - is when you're way over your head
I should be lying sick in bed
Cause I keep burning with this fever for you
This fever for you
I got fever
Fever - when it's running through your veins
And your body goes insane
You're addicted to the pain
Fever - is when you're way over your head
I should be lying sick in bed
Cause I keep burning with this fever for you
Over and over again
I am coming down with something
Fever...
The song "Fever" by Delta Goodrem is a passionate and fiery exploration of the intensity of love. The first verse speaks to the idea of being willing to give everything to another person, even if it brings you to your knees. The line "Let's play your dangerous games" suggests a desire for risk-taking and excitement in a relationship. The chorus then speaks directly to the title of the song, with the imagery of a fever running through one's veins and causing them to be addicted to the pain and intensity of the love they feel. Goodrem's vocals add to the raw emotion of the lyrics, with her voice rising and falling in intensity throughout the song.
The second verse speaks to the idea of wanting to experience all the world has to offer with the person you love, and the connection between the two of them being special and ancient. The repetition of "I'm coming down with something over and over again" reinforces the idea that the singer is addicted to this person and this feeling of intense love, and cannot seem to shake it.
