It was included on the "Top Of The Pops 2003" compilation album.[1]

In 2002, Amorosi re-recorded the song as a duet with Olivia Newton-John and it was to be included on Newton-John's album 2 (as track two).[2] However, the track was dropped at the last minute due to contractual disagreements between Amorosi's Transistor Music and Newton-John's Universal Music labels. Both declared to feel very sad about this situation and have been quick to say that there is no problem between them, but that it is simply a contractual matter.[3] In March 2023, Vanessa and Olivia's duet version of the song turned the light, as the song was finally released on Olivia's posthumous duets album Just the Two of Us: The Duets Collection (Vol. 1).[4]

Lyrics

Lyrically, the song is about self-empowerment. The chorus includes the lyrics; "Sometimes you gotta look a little harder, Sometimes you gotta be, be smarter, Hold on just a little bit longer, Just be true to yourself"

Promotion

Amorosi performed "True to Yourself" on Top of the Pops and the hugely successful long-running show Wetten, dass..? which screens throughout Europe.[5]
