#tbt | "goodbye" by kristinia debarge

In this week's edition of #tbt, let's revisit "Goodbye" by Kristinia deBarge. This summer we have Ariana Grande's "Problem" and Blood Orange's "You're not good enough" - both of which tell their former lovers to piss off. In 2009, we had "Goodbye" by Kristinia deBarge. 

From the very beginning, "Goodbye" starts strong: strong beat accompanied by empowered lyrics:

-/-/-/-

Am I suppose to put my life on hold
Because you don't know how to act?
And you don't know where your life is going?
Am I suppose to be torn apart
Broken-hearted in a corner cryin'?
Pardon me if I don't show it

-/-/-/- 

Kristinia doesn't hold back, reminding that fool that she's done with him. She's just a girl who wants to have fun. The bad boyfriend didn't know how to treat her well, so she's leaving and moving on. Having said her "goodbye," she is now having the time of her life. Just watch below.

Simple. Direct. Catchy. The song was everywhere. Overplayed, at times. But we all still sang along.

Kristinia is even nice enough to offer some free advice.

"Take this final piece of advice and get yourself together
But either way, baby, I'm gone"
-/-/-/-

Even if he were to take her free advice and grow up, Kristinia is done with him. Done. #goodbye #1lessproblem (a la Ariana) #youwerentgoodenough (says Blood Orange)
