\u201cI\u2019m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic stages in the world at Eurovision!\u201d Goodrem says.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I\u2019ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music: the universal language. I can\u2019t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Out today, \u201cEclipse\u201d \u201ccaptures the rare, breath-stealing moment when shadow and light fall into perforce harmony \u2014 a metaphor for clarity, alignment and stepping fully into your purpose,\u201d according to a press release.<\/p>\n
Goodrem wrote her new single alongside Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin, and Michael Catkin, the latter also producing the single.<\/p>\n

Goodrem signed her first record deal aged just 15, and went onto become one of Australia\u2019s most iconic music stars.<\/p>\n
Her debut album, Innocent Eyes, is one of the highest-selling albums in Australian history, producing five No. 1 singles and remaining at No. 1 for a record-breaking seven-and-a-half months.<\/p>\n
Goodrem has sold more than 9 million albums worldwide, achieved five No. 1 albums and nine No. 1 singles, and earned 12 ARIA Awards.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter years of speculation, the moment has arrived. Everything has aligned for Delta to represent Australia at Eurovision, and there\u2019s no better time than 2026 in the song contest\u2019s 70th year, back where Australia\u2019s participation began in 2015,\u201d SBS Head of Entertainment Emily Griggs shares.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo mark this milestone, we wanted to send one of Australia\u2019s most iconic artists to the world\u2019s most iconic stage. Her powerful voice is balanced by restraint and an openness that draws people in, creating performances that feel both intimate and expansive. Europe, get ready. Australia is lighting up the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
