"Wings"
Song

"Wings" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem. It was released by Sony Music Australia as the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album. "Wings" was written by Goodrem, as well as Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci of DNA Songs. Egizii and Musumeci also produced the song.[2] It was released as a digital download and CD single on 24 July 2015. "Wings" is a pop song which has a focus on self-empowerment. Lyrically, Goodrem uses "the extended metaphor of flight to explore feelings of catharsis and one’s ability to overcome adversity".[3] "Wings" debuted at number eight on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, peaking at number one in its third week on the chart.

Release and reception

Renowned for Sound's Joseph Earp gave the song four stars out of five and praised the song as a "timely reminder of the singer’s many skills; it’s operatic, it’s baroque, and it’s empowering. Earp then went on to describe the song as a "genuine slice of pop magic".[3] MuuMuse also wrote about it positively, referring to "The hectic, heart-racing guitar riff, which is all sorts of 'Edge Of Seventeen'" and "The hectic, heart-racing pre-chorus, which is all sorts of a thrilling rush".[4] The song is light and airy, according to Amnifly.[5] "She managed to create a track that is very current, poppy enough and with a big production while it all still very much feels like Delta."[6]

Promotion

Goodrem promoted the song on The Voice Australia,[7] at various in stores in various cities[8] and went to several major commercial radio stations in Australia. [9]

Music video

A music video, directed by Anthony Rose, was released on 7 August 2015, and features Goodrem singing with spinning pianos, dove flying, ballet jumping and heavy duty wind machines.[10]
