Background Information
When Goodrem was 15 years old, her first manager Glenn Wheatley signed her to an artist development deal with independent label Empire Records, to see if she possessed potential as a recording artist. Between June 1999 to June 2000, she worked with producers Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter on thirteen tracks for an album called Delta, which saw "an ambitious 15-year-old keen to emulate the pop sound of the Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Mandy Moore." Most tracks were written by Carter, although Goodrem did co-write a couple of tracks including the sole-penned "Love". Goodrem did a photoshoot for the album (some of the photos have surfaced), and recorded a home-made style music video for the song "Say" which has since leaked onto the internet. Higgins took the album to Roadshow, who offered to market and distribute the album, but the deal was knocked back by Goodrem's parents. In September 2000, Goodrem signed to Sony Music and the album was shelved. A year later, Goodrem released her debut single "I Don't Care" and in late 2002, released her breakthrough international hit "Born to Try", with many number ones to follow.
