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".

Predictable
Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I take your breathe away
You say you love me and you make
All the right promises to break
And when I turn around you're always there
Like that's the proof you really care
But I see right through you and I think
You're just so predictable
In every way
I want you to know I know your game
It's so unbelievable
How you never change
You won't get away
With loving me
You're just so predictable
I run
You say you won't give up the chase
You say you'll follow me anyplace
So you can make the same mistakes
You know just what to do
And How to use the best of you
To try and change my mind
But my eyes are opening this time
And I read you
You're just so predictable
In every way
I want you to know I know your game
It's so unbelievable
How you never change
You won't get away
With loving me
You're just so predictable
Now that I know your every move
How you gonna hide baby what you gonna do
Now that somebody knows the truth
About you and how you're just so
You're just so predictable
In every way
I want you to know I know your game
It's so unbelievable
How you never change
You won't get away
With loving me
You're just so predictable
Delta Goodrem's song "Predictable" is a cautionary tale of a woman who is tired of her partner's predictable behavior. The song's lyrics suggest that the partner is not very creative or spontaneous and seems to be going through the motions of a relationship without really making an effort to connect emotionally with Delta. Delta sings how he makes all the right promises just to break them, and it's become such a routine that it's predictable.
She's also aware of the partner's attempts to win her over. But every time, it's the same behavior, and she sees through it. He has no new moves to make her believe that he's sincere, and she's grown tired of it. The song's theme seems to be that you can't trick someone into loving you, and over time, the same behavior can become stale and make the other person lose interest.
Overall, "Predictable" is a song that speaks to anyone who's ever been in a relationship where they felt like their partner was just going through the motions. Delta Goodrem's lyrics are relatable, and her soulful voice serves to drive home how tiring it can be when someone is predictable in love.

I smile
I put on a façade of happiness when I'm with you
You say I take your breathe away
You tell me I'm breathtakingly beautiful
You say you love me and you make
You say you love me and you create an illusion of a perfect relationship
All the right promises to break
But in reality, you make promises you have no intention of keeping
And when I turn around you're always there
You constantly try to be around me and appear to be attentive
Like that's the proof you really care
As if that's enough to prove your love for me
But I see right through you and I think
But I can see through your lies and tricks
To myself
And I'm aware that you're just trying to manipulate me
You're just so predictable
You're easily read and transparent
In every way
In all aspects of your behavior
I want you to know I know your game
I want you to realize that I'm aware of your manipulations
It's so unbelievable
It's hard to believe that you never change your tactics
How you never change
You always resort to the same tactics
You won't get away
You won't be able to successfully manipulate me
With loving me
By pretending to love me
I run
I try to distance myself from you
You say you won't give up the chase
You reassure me that you won't stop pursuing me
You say you'll follow me anyplace
You promise to go anywhere to be with me
So you can make the same mistakes
So you can repeat your manipulative behavior
You know just what to do
You're experienced at manipulating me
And How to use the best of you
You use your best traits to keep me on the hook
To try and change my mind
In an attempt to manipulate and control me
But my eyes are opening this time
But I'm becoming more aware of your tactics
And I read you
And I can see more clearly through your manipulations
Now that I know your every move
Now that I'm more aware of your tactics and manipulations
How you gonna hide baby what you gonna do
How will you continue manipulating me now that I'm wise to your tricks?
Now that somebody knows the truth
Now that I understand the reality of our relationship
About you and how you're just so
About you and how transparent and manipulative you are
