Neil Diamond wrote "Delirious Love" himself, words and music, for 12 Songs, the 2005 album Rick Rubin produced for him, Diamond's first studio record since Three Chord Opera in 2001. The album's seeds went in after the tour for that record wrapped in 2002, when Diamond, snowed in at his Colorado cabin, started writing new material to pass the time.
Then he met Rubin. The two traded visits at each other's homes before going near a studio, and Rubin, holding up Diamond's Bang and early Uni records as a starting point, kept him writing for a year. When it was time to record, Rubin called in players from Johnny Cash's American Recordings sessions, Tom Petty sidemen Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench among them, and got Diamond playing guitar himself.
