Warm and Tender is the fourteenth studio album and first of children's lullabies released by Olivia Newton-John in September 1989. After being absent on Newton-John's last album The Rumour, producer John Farrar returned for this album. After recording extensively in the U.K. and U.S. throughout her career, this was Newton-John's first album recorded in her hometown of Melbourne.

"Reach Out for Me" peaked at number 153 on the ARIA Charts. It did far better in Ireland, where it topped the charts for two weeks.[2]
