"Goodbye for Now" received considerable radio play and was used in promotional videos for the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The song also emphasizes clean melody and vocal harmony while lacking any heavy guitar work.

Katy Perry's drawn out backup vocals enter during the final chorus shortly before the song comes to an end.

And she was like: ‘I think I saw you guys in a (Christian) youth rally so many years ago.’ I’m like: ‘That’s so cool.’ But here she was in Hollywood trying to do her thing and make her career.

She performed the song live with the band during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
