"Predictable" was the fifth and final single from Delta Goodrem's debut album Innocent Eyes. Released in the last quarter of 2003, the single peaked at #1 on the Australian ARIA Charts, becoming Goodrem's 5th #1 single in Australia. This achievement in itself broke the record set by Goodrem herself for the most amount of consecutive #1's from a debut album. The original record was held by Kylie Minogue. The single faced stiff competition from competent international and local acts; debuting at a solid #2, behind the then-Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian. With no promotion, due to Goodrem's cancer, this single was heralded as a testimony to Goodrem's popularity amongst Australians. Image File history File links DeltaGoodremPredictableFrontCover. ...

Music video

Due to Goodrem's cancer treatment, and her inability to shoot a video; Sony used a live video to represent the song. The live video was shot at the Headquarters for Channel V (an entertainment variety show). The video, along with the song was well received. What made the video stand out was the fact that it had no backing track covering it up; instead, just a simple live performance performed by Goodrem.
