"Keep Climbing" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem, co-written by Goodrem with Matthew Copley and Sebastian Kole. It was released to streaming services on 14 May 2020 by Sony Music Australia. The song is a motivational piano-led power ballad about hope and overcoming hardship.
Background
The song was first teased in an advert for the Nine Network drama Doctor Doctor on 25 April, initially titled "Bridge Over Troubled Dreams".[1] On 14 May, Goodrem premiered the song during a livestream on Facebook and Instagram, and released it on streaming services immediately after.
The song was included as a B-side on the CD edition of Goodrem's follow-up single "Paralyzed".[2]
Reception
"Keep Climbing" was positively received by critics upon its release, with Idolator remarking that the song provides "the kind of stripped-back, vocal showcase that Delta has perfected since breaking through with "Born To Try" and "Lost Without You" in 2002" and that it "might just be her best single since "Wings"".[3] Thomas Bleach commented "beginning with just simple piano keys, she starts to add layers with strings and soulful melodies that turn into a beautiful gospel moment towards the end of the song where the choir powerfully sings the phrase "keep climbing"", and that "the song ripples with perfect waves of emotions that drive the structure and climatically builds to give you a really beautiful and special moment."[4]
Videos
A lyric video for the song was uploaded to YouTube at the time of release. The video features the lyrics appearing above an aerial shot of a piano, on which Goodrem is playing the piano part for the song.[5]
A live performance recorded at the NSW Art Gallery was released on May 23, while a studio recording video was released on June 15.
