Innocent Eyes is the debut studio album by Australian singer Delta Goodrem, released in Australia on 24 March 2003. It was later released in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2003. Goodrem co-wrote most of the material, excluding "Throw It Away", "Lost Without You" and "Butterfly". The album features two self-penned songs, "In My Own Time" and "Will You Fall for Me". Goodrem worked with writers and producers such as: Audius Mtawarira, Bridget Benenate, Cathy Dennis, Eliot Kennedy, Gary Barlow, Jarrad Rogers, Kara DioGuardi, Vince Pizzinga and others to create the album with a collection of piano-based pop and ballad tracks.

Five singles were released from the album. Its lead single "Born to Try" was released in November 2002 and became a massive commercial success, peaking atop the ARIA Singles Chart and the New Zealand Singles Chart, becoming Goodrem's most successful single to date. Follow-up singles "Lost Without You", "Innocent Eyes", "Not Me, Not I" and "Predictable" also all reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart. Goodrem became the first artist to have five number-one singles from a debut album.[1] The first three singles charted within the top 10 in the United Kingdom. To promote the album, Goodrem embarked on The Visualise Tour.

Innocent Eyes debuted at number one on the Australian Albums Chart, making it her first number-one album.[2] Altogether it sold 4.5 million copies worldwide[3] including 1.2 million in Australia alone.[4][5] Innocent Eyes is the most successful album in Australia in 19 years. It was the highest-selling album in Australia of the decade[6] and is the second-best-selling Australian album of all time.[7]

She celebrated the 10 year anniversary with a special acoustic edition in 2013 called Innocent Eyes: Ten Year Anniversary Acoustic Edition [8][9] and gave it its own tour in 2023 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.[10]
