Background

Planning for Goodrem's sixth studio album can be seen to have originally dated back to 2018 with the release of "Think About You". The song indicated a change in sound and direction for Goodrem. However, Goodrem has since explained that she later opted for a return to the piano-based ballad pop of her debut album, Innocent Eyes, stating that she had ‘not tried to chase a sound and this album and body of work is me being my authentic self musically. In creating this album, I wanted to hear all the songs with live musicians. Every song I started at the piano. Every instrument is recorded live and there is a cohesive sound that has been captured”.
Goodrem officially marked the beginning of the new era with the release of "Keep Climbing", serving as the lead single for Goodrem's sixth album. The song was globally premiered as part of Goodrem's seventh instalment of The Bunkerdown Sessions which she had carried out weekly within lockdown. A motivational piano ballad, Goodrem explained that her intention behind the song was to remind people to not be afraid to find the strength when they feel stuck between where they are and where they want to go”.
On July 17 2020, Goodrem released the album's second official single entitled, "Paralyzed". Lyrically, Goodrem explained the song to be a “narrative of when your whole world stops and has to be reset”.
