"Born to Try" is a song written by Delta Goodrem and Audius Mtawarira, produced by Ric Wake for Goodrem's first album Innocent Eyes. Goodrem, who was starring as Nina Tucker in Neighbours at the time, performed the track on the show, as her character was also trying to launch a music career. The piano ballad proved to be successful, debuting at number three before reaching number one on the Australian Singles chart, becoming Goodrem's first number one single. It spent three months in the top five and went on to sell over 210,000 copies, making it the third highest selling single of 2002 (citation needed). In the UK, "Born to Try" debuted and peaked the charts at number three, spending eleven weeks in the top forty. The single was also a number one hit for Goodrem in New Zealand.

"Born to Try" was not Delta's debut single. In 2001, she released "I Don't Care", but the single was unsuccessful and barely noticed by the general public.
