Olivia Newton-John sinh ra tại Cambridge (Anh) nhưng Newton-John lại lớn lên ở Melbourne (Úc), nơi cha cô là hiệu trưởng trường Ormond College. Cô được coi là một trong những giọng ca thành công nhất của thập niên 70 thuộc loại country-pop và soft rock. Khi Sol Four giải tán, Newton-John tham gia cuộc thi truyền hình, giành được giải xuất sắc và nhận được phần thưởng là một chuyến đi đến thủ đô Luân Đôn của Anh. Khi ở Luân Đôn, cô lại hợp thành đôi song ca với Pat Carroll, một ca sĩ người Úc khác, cả hai lúc này đang nỗ lực hết mình để có được một chỗ đứng trong ngành.
Sau khi chia tay Carrol, Newton-John ghi âm và phát hành single đầu tay với version "Till You Say You"ll Be Mine" của Jackie DeShannon. Không lâu sau đó, cô trở thành thành viên của nhóm nhạc Toomorrow.
Năm 1979, Newton-John phát hành album Totally Hot, một sự pha trộn giữa soft rock và disco. Album cũng lại là một thành công, với single đầu, "A Little More Love," đứng hạng ba trên các bảng xếp hạng pop của Mỹ và đạt doanh thu vàng.
Album sau đó, album Physical được coi là album thành công nhất của cô. Cuối năm 1984, Newton-John lập gia đình với diễn viên Matt Lattanzi. Năm sau đó, cô phát hành Physical Clone Soul Kiss, chỉ cho ra một hit nhỏ với track nhạc chủ đề. Năm 1988, cô cho ra mắt album The Rumour, nhưng album này không nhận được nhiều sự ủng hộ cho lắm. Cô ký hợp đồng với hãng Geffen năm sau đó, phát hành một album cho trẻ em Warm and Tender.
If you love me let me know
You came when
I was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long
I built my world around you
And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay
If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says hello it's good to see you
Anytime i turn around to find you there
It's this and so much more that make me love you
What else can I do to make you see
You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you
But a love affair for one can never be
If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Oh Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Have You Never Been Mellow
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Mary Skeffington
Mary Skeffington,
Close your eyes
And make believe that you
Are just a girl again.
Go to sleep tonight,
Dream of days,
When you had something there
To light the way.
Remember a harder day
In a north of England town,
You slept in a room upstairs
On a bed of eiderdown.
Mary Skeffington,
When you wake
You mustn't be afraid
To face another day.
Come on over
If my life gets like a jigsaw
With the pieces out of place
Come on over
Put a smile back on my face
And if all my bad days came at once
You would know just what to do
Come on over
Baby, you would see me through
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Bring your love around
You can dry away my tears
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Lay your body down
You know I will be here
So bring your love around
When I cannot see in front of me
And I know my darkest day
Come on over
You can take it all away
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Bring your love around
You can wipe away my tears
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Lay your body down
You know I will be here
So bring your love around
If you think
If you think I need you
Come on over
Home ain't home anymore
I've seen so many smiling faces today
But just what lies behind them I can't see
I've lived my life in many places, you see
Now I don't know just where I wanna be
'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more
The years have opened up a canyon it seems
A canyon deep and wide that I can't cross
And though my nomad days have opened my eyes
I've learned that every game must bear a loss
'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more
Don't be afraid to tell me
That things are not the same
I'm older now and wiser
I know how things can change
'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more
