At the age of thirteen, Goodrem recorded a five-song demo CD, financed through her television work.{{cite journal|title=Born to sing|journal=TV Hits Delta Magazine|year=2003|page=10}} It was sent to the Australian rules football club Sydney Swans (of which Goodrem is a supporter) and they passed it onto talent manager Glenn Wheatley.{{cite journal|title=Delta's loves|journal=Sain magazine|date=December 2001|issue=42|page=35}}{{cite news|last=Blackman|first=Guy|title=Weathering the storm|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/People/Weathering-the-storm/2005/03/11/1110417681712.html|access-date=3 December 2013|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=12 March 2005}} Wheatley signed Goodrem to an artist development deal with independent record label, Empire Records.{{cite news|last=Browne|first=Rachel|title=Delta's legal quickstep|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/07/31/1091080487872.html|access-date=2 November 2013|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=1 August 2004}}

Between June 1999 and September 2000, Goodrem worked with producers Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter on thirteen tracks for an album to be called Delta. A later report on these sessions described Goodrem as "an ambitious 15-year-old keen to emulate the pop sound of the Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Mandy Moore."{{cite news|last=Koha|first=Nui Te|title=Delta's secret songs surface|newspaper=Herald Sun|date=28 March 2004}} Most of the tracks were written by Carter, although Goodrem co-wrote two and self-wrote the song "Love". Goodrem did a photoshoot for the album (some of the photos have surfaced), and recorded a home-made style music video for the song "Say" which has since leaked onto the internet. Higgins took the album to Village Roadshow, which offered to market and distribute the album, but the deal was blocked by Goodrem's parents. The album has yet to surface, though it became the subject of a lawsuit in 2004.

The album and proposed second single "A Year Ago Today" were pushed aside as a result, allowing Goodrem and Sony to re-evaluate her future musical direction. In 2002, Goodrem took up the role as shy schoolgirl and aspiring singer Nina Tucker in the popular television soap opera Neighbours, which helped re-launch Goodrem's music career.{{cite magazine|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|magazine=Filmink|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/australian-singers-turned-actors/|title=Australian Singers Turned Actors|date=14 July 2019}}{{cite news|last=Taylor|first=Chuck|title=Delta Goodrem: Elevation|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1044812/delta-goodrem-elevation|access-date=1 December 2013|newspaper=Billboard|date=11 July 2008}} The piano-based ballad "Born to Try", co-written by Audius Mtawarira, premiered on the show and reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and the New Zealand singles chart, and number three in the UK.

The album's third single "Innocent Eyes" again reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and number nine in the UK. It was certified Platinum in Australia for sales over 70,000 copies.

On 8 July 2003, at the age of 18, Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, an uncommon cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.{{cite news|title=Delta Goodrem Hospitalized With Cancer|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/69996/delta-goodrem-hospitalized-with-cancer|access-date=1 December 2013|newspaper=Billboard|date=14 July 2003}} She was forced to put all working commitments on hold while undertaking treatment for the disease. In an exclusive interview with The Australian Women's Weekly, Goodrem revealed that, since 2002, she had suffered from a head-to-toe rash, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, and a lump on her neck.{{cite news|last=Sheather|first=Michael|title=Delta's Darkest Hour|newspaper=The Australian Women's Weekly|date=May 2004|pages=20–27}} "I was doing sit-ups when I felt something pop in my neck. I reached down and I felt a small lump at the base of my throat. It wasn't sore, it wasn't visible, but I could feel it." As part of her treatment, Goodrem undertook chemotherapy, which resulted in the loss of her hair, and radiation therapy. The news of her diagnosis made newspaper and television headlines and an outpouring of support was shown by fans and the general public alike. Goodrem thanked them during The Visualise Tour for all the letters and well wishes she received.

The album's fourth single, "Not Me, Not I", was released following the announcement Goodrem had been diagnosed with cancer. It became her fourth consecutive number one single in Australia, overtaking the previous effort of three number-ones from Kylie Minogue's debut studio album, Kylie (1988).{{cite news|last=Adams|first=Cameron|title=Delta blitz tops Kylie|newspaper=Herald Sun|year=2003}} It was certified Platinum for sales over 70,000 copies.

After announcing in late December 2003 that she was in remission, Goodrem began work on her second studio album. Goodrem received two nominations at the Logie Awards of 2004 including a Gold Logie nomination for "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television".

In March 2004, while Goodrem was still undergoing cancer treatment, Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter announced plans to release the album they had recorded with the then 15-year-old Goodrem in 1999 and 2000. They shopped the album around and ignited a bidding war amongst record companies. After the success of Innocent Eyes, industry experts expected that bidding for the album could attract figures anywhere between $1.5 million and $15 million.{{Cite news|last=Koha|first=Nui Te|date=October 2004|title=Secret Delta Blues|work=Herald Sun}} When Goodrem and her family disapproved of the album's release, a lawsuit was filed. Goodrem's lawyers claimed the album was made up of unfinished demo recordings which were not fit for commercial release. After much coverage in the media, the case was settled in mediation. In exchange for not releasing the album, Higgins and Carter received an unspecified payout.

In September 2004, she became the face of soft drink company Pepsi in Australia, appearing on the product, billboards, TV advertisements and performing an exclusive show for competition winners.{{cite news|title=Goodrem Joins The Pepsi Girls|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news-article/goodrem-joins-the-pepsi-girls|access-date=8 November 2013|newspaper=Contactmusic.com|date=5 October 2004}}{{cite news|last=Dennehy|first=Luke|title=Pepsi lands Goodrem|newspaper=Herald Sun|date=September 2004}} In October Goodrem launched her own lingerie line titled "Delta by Annabella".{{cite news|title=Delta's lingerie range|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/10/13/1097607283393.html|access-date=29 November 2013|newspaper=The Age|date=14 October 2004|agency=AAP}}

It was certified platinum in Australia. "A Little Too Late" was released only in Australia and peaked at number 13. "Be Strong" was released as the album's fifth and final single in Australia as a digital download on 17 October 2005. At the time of release, digital downloads were not included as part of the main singles chart, therefore it was ineligible to chart. Much of the album, in particular "Extraordinary Day", was inspired by her battle with cancer. Reflecting on that period of her life, Goodrem said "It's weird to see pictures of that time. In some ways the fact that I was so sick was so out there, and yet I kept it really private. No-one saw me on the days I was really sick. I was 18 when I was diagnosed and I had a number one album and single in the country. And in the UK, I was number two. It was such a bipolar year".{{cite news|last=Kittson|first=Jean|title=Delta Goodrem|newspaper=OK!

In March 2005, Goodrem starred in her first film role in Hating Alison Ashley, a film based on the 1984 children's novel by Robin Klein, with Goodrem acting the title character. The film performed poorly at the box office and was not a critical success, with some critics citing Goodrem's performance as too robotic and detached.{{cite news|last=Dale|first=David|title=The Tribal Mind|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/The-Tribal-Mind/The-Tribal-Mind/2005/04/04/1112489402984.html|access-date=2 November 2013|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=5 April 2004}} April 2005 saw Goodrem relocate to New York to launch her career in the United States with a reworked version of "Lost Without You". She appeared in the last two episodes of the short-lived American series North Shore in a bid to gain greater exposure. "Lost Without You" proved to be modestly successful, peaking at number eighteen on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, but Goodrem was reportedly dissatisfied with its performance. Plans to release a hybrid of her first two studio albums were later terminated and Goodrem put America on hold. In July, Goodrem embarked on her first headline concert tour of Australia, The Visualise Tour. Ticket prices, $99 each, came under criticism for being higher than most international acts touring Australia at the time and this initially led to slow sales.{{cite news|title=Goodrem Concert Struggles|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news-article/goodrem-concert-struggles|access-date=2 November 2013|newspaper=Contactmusic.com|date=10 December 2004}} By the time the tour took place, 80,000 tickets had been sold across the ten shows.{{cite news|title=It's A Wrap!

In 2017, an advertisement for Apple Music featuring Goodrem was criticised by the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) for promoting unsafe driving. Complaints about the video to the bureau stated that it "does not promote safe driving" and features Goodrem placing her head and arms outside a moving a vehicle and "moving around in a motor vehicle with no clearly visible safety belt". In response to the complaints, Apple Inc. said that it felt "confident" that the advertisement did not breach the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Advertiser Code of Ethics standards and saw no issues relating to car safety, with both individuals in the car wearing lap seat belts. The ASB said that people may not realise that vintage cars are fitted with lap seatbelts which are not clearly seen in the video. The advertisement was pulled from screening and would not re-air until Apple re-edited it with all parts featuring Goodrem's arms and hands outside of the car window removed.{{Cite web|url=https://mumbrella.com.au/delta-goodrems-bad-behaviour-in-apple-ad-catches-eye-of-watchdog-458840|title=Delta Goodrem's 'bad behaviour' in Apple ad catches eye of watchdog|publisher=Mumbrella|first=Abigail|last=Dawson|date=19 July 2017|access-date=21 July 2017}}
