“To stand on that stage, share our hearts, and now know we’re heading to the Grand Final of Eurovision is something I’ll never forget. It’s an absolute honour to represent Australia on the Eurovision stage.
“Thank you for every vote, every message, and every bit of love.”
For Delta, the larger-than-life opportunity has been a long time coming.
“I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision!” Delta exclaimed.
“As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music; the universal language,” the “Born To Try star” continued.
“I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”
Featuring her signature piano sound mixed with the power ballad beats Eurovision is famous for, we think she’s onto a winner with this track.

After she burst onto the scene on Neighbours when she was 15 years old, Delta has become one of Australia’s biggest names in music.
Her first album Innocent Eyes was a 23-time Platinum hit, making it one of the highest selling albums in Aussie history. Since then, Delta has sold more than nine million albums and won 12 ARIA awards.
Having written songs for Eurovision icons Celine Dion and worked with Olivia Newton John, it’s only natural that Delta takes the Eurovision stage herself.
Of course, Delta isn’t the only talented musician appearing on the Eurovision stage. If you’d like to hear all the 2026 entrants, you can check out the video below!
