"Almost Here" is a pop ballad by Irish singer Brian McFadden and Australian singer Delta Goodrem. Written by McFadden, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, and produced by Taylor, the song appears on McFadden's debut album, Irish Son, and on Goodrem's second studio album, Mistaken Identity.

The song is considered pop, having an influence of folk music. The song is a duet and it features an antiphon. The recording has an emphasis on the instrumental arranging, which is backed up by a string section. The song is written in the key of A minor and moves at a tempo of 78 beats per minute. It has the sequence of Am–G–Dm₇ as its chord progression.

The single debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, staying in the top ten for eight weeks and earning platinum status. The song also debuted at number three in Denmark, and in its third week, it reached its peak position of number two and continued to stay in the top ten for twelve weeks. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted and peaked at number three. In Ireland, the song debuted at number two and peaked at number one the following week.

In the accompanying music video, McFadden is seen to be chasing after Goodrem through an airport, after she forgets her handbag. There are two alternate endings to the video: 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 appears on the DVD The Life of Brian: Six Months in the Life of Brian McFadden, while the "happy" ending appears on the single's physical release.
