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".

Hypnotized
Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like all the colours, bruised and broken
Black cats and ladders smoke and mirrors
7 years of bad luck made it clearer
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can't get there fast enough
Yeah, fast enough
Falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
Lost control and now
I'm trippin' on this feeling going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love with you...
Like a spell I've fallen under
Intoxicating when you're closer
Shower me with the confetti raining down
From open skies
I'm gonna cut these strings off these balloons
And watch them fly so high
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can't get there fast enough
Yeah, fast enough
No matter what I do I gotta get to you
Falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
Lost control and now
I'm trippin' on this feeling going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love with you...
I love standing on the edge
Looking on this brave new world
Feeling vertigo I take this step and just let go...
Something's got me mesmerized
Feels like I've been hypnotized
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can't get there fast enough
Yeah, fast enough
No matter what I do I gotta get to you
Falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
Lost control and now
I'm trippin' on this feeling going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love
Yeah, deeper in love with you...
Deeper in love, deeper in love
Deeper in love with you
Deeper in love, deeper in love
Deeper in love with you
In love with you
In love with you
In love with you
In "Hypnotized," Delta Goodrem sings about the clarity and intensity of being in love. She uses imagery of chaos, bad luck and confusion, to contrast with the sense of security and focus she feels when she's with the person she loves. The opening lines describe her life before falling in love as being "in commotion," with everything in disarray, and her feeling broken and bruised. However, she credits this experience with giving her the clarity to understand that she wants to be with the person who makes her feel hypnotized and in love.
The chorus is a declaration of her passion, and her determination to be with the person who has captured her heart. She says that nothing can stop her from falling deeper in love, and that she is completely under their spell. She describes the feeling of being mesmerized as a kind of vertigo, but one that she embraces and welcomes, as it allows her to take the brave step of letting go and being vulnerable.
The final lines of the song are a direct proclamation of her love, as she repeats the phrase "in love with you." The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the depth and intensity of her emotions, and reinforces the power of love to transform and heal even the most chaotic and broken parts of our lives.
