Goodbye (song)

Goodbye is the title of a song recorded and released by the British group Spice Girls in December 1998. It was their first song not to feature original member Geri Halliwell, who had left the group earlier in the year. In the Spice Girls' autobiography, Forever Spice, group member Melanie C said Goodbye "was originally about a relationship ending, but now it's about Geri and it's really sad".

The song was released as a single in time for the Christmas market and indeed gave the Spice Girls their third consecutive Christmas no.1, the first act to do so since The Beatles. Two separate CD singles were issued in the UK.
