"Goodbye" is the first single released by the American recording artist Kristinia DeBarge from her first studio album Exposed.

[1][2][3] An uptempo dance pop track, the lyrics of the song deal with DeBarge getting over her ex-boyfriend.

[4] A music video was released to promote the song, which features DeBarge and her friends stealing her ex-boyfriend's car and driving to various locations, including a house party.

Despite the mixed critical reception, it achieved some commercial success, peaking in the top forty in Sweden and the top twenty in Canada and the United States, but it fared better as a dance single, peaking at number three on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Meanwhile, upon the song's UK release, noted R&B writer Pete Lewis of the 'Blues & Soul' referred to it as "a punchy, upbeat single whose hook prominently samples the familiar hook from Steam's 1969 American Number One 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Godbye'".

[6] Nick Levine of Digital Spy said, "Like a low calorie chocolate bar, 'Goodbye' is sweet enough in the moment, but it doesn't have enough substance to leave you feeling really satisfied.

"[7] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday said that "DeBarge comes across as a streetwise Jordin Sparks on the "stomping smash".

But DeBarge is able to make this song uniquely her own and put a funky dance twist on a classic.

This young singer appears to have inherited the family talent for mass-appeal music with an easygoing style.

It backs Wale and Lady GaGa on 'Chillin', Jay-Z uses it to shoo off pop's most controversial vocal effect on 'D.O.A.

Blame it on the over-familiarity of the sample, or maybe the fact that DeBarge nicks a trick from Rihanna's 'SOS (Rescue Me)' here, but the result isn't quite the pop smash it could be.

Like a low calorie chocolate bar, 'Goodbye' is sweet enough in the moment, but it doesn't have enough substance to leave you feeling really satisfied."

[21] At several of these shows, the ballads from the album were performed acoustically, with DeBarge singing along with one man playing a guitar behind her.

It starts with DeBarge and her friends watching her ex-boyfriend park his car, which they then steal after he leaves it.

DeBarge then flirts with several other men, including those she meets while at a restaurant and bicycling on a sidewalk, and enters their numbers into her cell phone.

NeonLimeLight said of the video, "Everybody wants a nice fling for the summer, but when you can't have love, what's better than a little revenge?

In the video for her smokin’ hot debut single, “Goodbye,” Kristinia gets her ex where it hurts the most by stealing his car with a few friends to ride around town and scope out potential replacements.
