Leaving a relationship with a toxic partner is what makes up the lyrics in PEPTALK and Chloe Parché’s “Good with Goodbye”. The person being referred to in the single is the exact opposite of an ideal romantic interest, therefore it is imperative that they are broken up with. The title and the main theme of the song takes on a different point of view with the phrase “good at goodbyes”, usually spoken in a negative light in wishing that letting go of people wasn’t so easy. However, in this instance, “Good with Goodbye” approaches the phrase differently, as it’s essential to get rid of this bad energy from your life in order to be happy.
“Good with Goodbye” contains upbeat pop guitar-centric production and instrumentation. It also features distinctive sound effects; after the line “Stay out here in space // Consider alienating me a total success” is sung, futuristic and sci-if-esque sound effects can be heard. In the second verse, the production shifts temporarily into a new sound, adjacent to industrial pop with now different sci-fi sound effects. PEPTALK and Parché are amazing vocalists and there are amazing harmonies throughout the song. Overall, the single has a very fun and summery sound, and is reminiscent of alternative, alt-pop, and electronic subgenres.
