"I'm Not Ready" is the first single released from Michael Bolton's twenty-first studio album, Gems.

The song was released on iTunes on 16 May 2011[1] and peaked at number 29 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.

[2] Goodrem's original solo recording was released on her fourth studio album, Child of the Universe, the following year.

[4] Bolton and Goodrem performed the song live on the American television series Dancing With The Stars on May 10,[5] and again on NBC's Today Show on June 20.

[6] Brendon Veevers of Renowned for Sound said the song is “both sentimental and vulnerable” and is 'harmony heaven' as the pair pass vocals from one another with ease.
