Next single = "A Little Too Late" (2005)"Almost Here" is a piano pop ballad written by Paul Barry, Brian McFadden and Mark Taylor, produced by Taylor for McFadden's first album "Irish Son" and was also the third song released from Delta Goodrem's second album "Mistaken Identity" (2004). The song is about a broken relationship. When the couple are together, they feel like the other is "almost here".

In the accompanying film clip, McFadden is seen to be chasing after Goodrem through an airport after she forgets her handbag. There are two alternate endings to the film clip: the 'happy' ending where McFadden and Goodrem are reunited in the taxi as it drives away from the airport, and the 'sad' ending where McFadden is by himself after the taxi leaves with Goodrem inside. The 'sad' ending was released to music television shows while the 'happy' ending was available on the CD single.

This song debuted at number-one on the Australian ARIA Chart and certificated a platinum status and stayed in the top ten for eight weeks.
