"Welcome to Earth" is a song written by Delta Goodrem, Stuart Crichton, David Hodges and Vince Pizzinga and recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem. The song was first performed live during the Opening ceremony of the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast as official theme of the games. Goodrem wore a custom-made outfit designed by Zian Couture, and was supported by 15 drummers and a 72-piece choir.{{cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-west-australian/20180405/282114932139421|title= Delta Wows Games Opening|publisher=West Australian|date= 5 April 2018|accessdate=5 April 2018}} Immediately following the performance, Goodrem wrote on Twitter: "What an incredible feeling performing at the Opening Ceremony of the 2018 Gold Coast #CommonwealthGames! Truly honoured."
Goodrem said "Sport, like music is so unifying. "Welcome to Earth" is my way of paying tribute to all the athletes and hopefully it resonates with people from wherever they are in the world."{{cite web|url=https://www.auspop.com.au/2018/04/welcome-to-earth-new-delta-single/|title=WELCOME TO EARTH, NEW DELTA SINGLE |publisher=auspOp|date=5 April 2018|accessdate=12 May 2018}}

The song was released on 5 April 2018.
