A new track brings together Southeast Asian artists for a global collaboration for Goodbye. The artists included in the song are guitarist, Mateus Asato, R&B-Pop singer Annalé and our very own pop superstar Inigo Pascual. The song was written and produced by Malaysian band MFMF.

The song has a mellow, acoustic melody and strong vocals which can easily get stuck in your head. Although naturally seen as a breakup song, it also reminds us of cherishing the good times in a relationship. It also talks about recognizing that you tried, but the past has to be left behind you.
