Goodrem received two nominations at the [[Logie Awards of 2004]] including a [[Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television|Gold Logie]] nomination for "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television". In March 2004, while Goodrem was still undergoing cancer treatment, Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter announced plans to release the album they had recorded with the then 15-year-old Goodrem in 1999 and 2000. They shopped the album around and ignited a bidding war amongst record companies.<ref name=":0" /> After the success of ''[[Innocent Eyes (2003 Delta Goodrem album)|Innocent Eyes]]'', industry experts expected that bidding for the album could attract figures anywhere between $1.5 million and $15 million.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|last=Koha|first=Nui Te|date=October 2004|title=Secret Delta Blues|work=[[Herald Sun]]}}</ref> When Goodrem and her family disapproved of the album's release, a [[lawsuit]] was filed.

"[[Be Strong (song)|Be Strong]]" was released as the album's fifth and final single in Australia as a digital download on 17 October 2005. At the time of release, digital downloads were not included as part of the main singles chart, therefore it was ineligible to chart. Much of the album, in particular "Extraordinary Day", was inspired by her battle with cancer.<ref name="autogenerated5" /> Reflecting on that period of her life, Goodrem said "It's weird to see pictures of that time. In some ways the fact that I was so sick was so out there, and yet I kept it really private. No-one saw me on the days I was really sick. I was 18 when I was diagnosed and I had a number one album and single in the country. And in the UK, I was number two. It was such a [[Bipolar disorder|bipolar]] year".<ref>{{cite news|last=Kittson|first=Jean|title=Delta Goodrem|newspaper=[[OK!
