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.[17]After the success ofInnocent Eyes,industry experts expected that bidding for the album could attract figures anywhere between $1.5 million and $15 million.[32]When Goodrem and her family disapproved of the album's release, alawsuitwas filed. Goodrem's lawyers claimed the album was made up of unfinisheddemorecordings which were not fit for commercial release.[32]After much coverage in the media, the case was settled inmediation.In exchange for not releasing the album, Higgins and Carter received an unspecified payout.[15]

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.[18]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 abipolaryear ".[39][40]
