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".

Fragile
Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven days a week but my life has just begun
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile
In six thousand years what will this mean
Words from the heart or a melody
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile
If people can see right through my eyes
Like an open door that I can't disguise
I won't be afraid from the tears I cry
I'll not run I'll not hide this is how I feel inside
A little fragile
A little fragile
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
The lyrics to Delta Goodrem's song Fragile delve into themes of vulnerability and emotional instability. The opening lines depict the singer's scattered thoughts as she struggles to focus on one thing at a time. Despite being busy every day of the week, she feels as if her life has just begun, suggesting a feeling of confusion and uncertainty. The chorus highlights the song's central theme of vulnerability as she expresses feeling alone and weak, "Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong."
The lyrics also delve into the fear of being seen for who she truly is, being exposed and judged by others, "If people can see right through my eyes / Like an open door that I can't disguise." However, the songwriter ultimately decides to embrace her fragility, rather than trying to hide or suppress it. "I won't be afraid from the tears I cry / I'll not run I'll not hide this is how I feel inside," she sings. The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase, "A little fragile," as if accepting and even celebrating this fragility.
Overall, the lyrics express a deep sense of emotional turmoil and the struggle to come to terms with one's vulnerabilities. They suggest that it's okay to feel weak and frightened, and that acknowledging and embracing that vulnerability is ultimately more powerful than trying to hide it.
