Composition

"Goodbye to You" is a ballad written solely by Michelle Branch about the feeling of breaking up. It was first recorded for her debut album, Broken Bracelet, and was later re-recorded for inclusion on her follow-up and major-label debut, The Spirit Room. The latter recording was produced by John Shanks and was described by Elle as a "rousing torch song." For its commercial release as a radio single, "Goodbye to You" was remixed by Chris Lord-Alge.

According to the digital sheet music published by Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., the song was composed in the key of [[A-flat major|AШаблон:Flat major]] and is set in common time to a moderately slow tempo of 80 beats per minute.

"Goodbye to You" peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending October 26, 2002. The song stayed on the charts for 20 weeks. The song became Branch's third top-40 hit.

Music video

The music video depicts Branch at a beach in her car, driving away from her troubles, and singing towards the ocean. It was directed by Francis Lawrence. The video's story is set in reverse and Branch has said that the format is supposed to emulate the 2000 film Memento.
