What Parents Need to Know

About "Goodbye" (CD single)

Parents need to know that even though this is a song about breaking up, its pop style keeps it light and casual. Moms and dads (and sports fans for that matter) will immediately recognize the sampling of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye."

  1. I rate this title on for age 9 and give it 2.0

    Annoying after the first ten times

    The radio ruined this song. I have heard it a LOT and it was fabulous. Then the radio comes and kills it. Kristinia DeBarge has a future, but she needs to get dirtier. I am not the fan of pure bubblegum cleansing, because it's boring.

    I don't wanna give a review title, hoe

    There's not any bad content but you'd think she could come up with some better lyrics for goodness sakes. If you actually listen to it you'll see it's one of the most uncreative songs in the history of america
