On August 24, 2018, Guetta unveiled the sixth and seventh singles from his seventh album 7 (2018), "Goodbye" and then also "Drive" (with Black Coffee featuring Delilah Montagu).[5] "Goodbye" is a collaboration with US R&B singer Jason Derulo and features Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj, as well as French musician and DJ Willy William. Guetta and Minaj have previously collaborated four times, beginning in 2011 with "Where Them Girls At" (also featuring Flo Rida) and "Turn Me On", both taken from Guetta's fifth album Nothing but the Beat. In 2015 they collaborated on "Hey Mama" (also featuring Bebe Rexha and Afrojack) for his sixth album Listen (2014). In 2017, they released the collaboration "Light My Body Up" (also featuring Lil Wayne). Meanwhile, Minaj and Derulo first collaborated in 2010 when she featured on the remix to his single "In My Head", taken from Derulo's debut self-titled studio album. They reunited in 2017 for the collaboration "Swalla" (also featuring Ty Dolla $ign).

The song's lyric video was released alongside the song's announcement.[5] It features on Guetta's album 7 as track number six.[6] "Goodbye" samples "Time to Say Goodbye" by Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli.[2] The official music video was released on October 21, 2018.
