In a blurb posted on the website, the singer talks about the title of album, stating:

“Nobody lives this long without copping some knocks and I’ve taken my fair share, particularly lately. But none of us can control what life throws at us. We can only control how we respond and, for better or worse, I’ve never liked to take a backward step.It’s no secret that this has caused me some problems over the years -"

Jimmy Barnes continued:

"-but I’ve finally learned how to turn my stubborn Scottish streak into something positive – something that helps me survive. I didn’t set out to do it deliberately but now that the album is finished, I can see there’s a recurring theme about the satisfaction you can get from fighting back. That’s why it’s called DEFIANT!”

Jimmy Barnes is best known for his work with the pub rock band Cold Chisel, as well as solo albums such as For the Working Class Man, and The Rhythm and the Blues, among others.
