Child of the Universe is the fourth studio album by Australian singer–songwriter Delta Goodrem.

The album was preceded by its three singles "Sitting on Top of the World", "Dancing with a Broken Heart" and "Wish You Were Here".

The album was originally in pre-production and writing stages in 2008 while Goodrem was in the United States, and was expected to be released in 2010 at some point.

That night Goodrem appeared on Australian TV program A Current Affair to promote the album.

After finishing her tour Goodrem flew to New Zealand to do promotion after the album was released there on 9 November 2012.

She then performed "Sitting on Top of the World" on the season final of Australia's Funniest Home Videos.

The song reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified double Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling 140,000 copies.

[3] To promote Child of the Universe, Goodrem embarked on her third concert tour titled "An Evening with Delta: The Top of My World Shows".

Goodrem chose The Voice Australia finalist, Rachael Leahcar, as her support act.

They also praised Goodrem's "diversity of style and genre with her tracks" and that she "shows off vocally with her broad range of soulful harmonies and Christina Aguilera like power solos.

Booth said that, "The best thing about the new record is the diversity of styles, because she can really show off her best asset, from the rock-tinged vocals on 'When My Stars Come Out' to the Mariah Carey-style harmonies on 'Safe to Believe'.

There are plenty of songs which pay their respects to her musical roots, for the fans of her older stuff, but Delta has always had a versatile voice.
