Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Goodbye to You (feat. Patty Smyth). By Songfacts®.

This was written by Scandal guitarist Zack Smith. It's a breakup song where Patty Smyth sings about moving on from a relationship. Smith wrote most of Scandal's songs, while Smyth fronted the group, moving on to success as a solo artist and eventually marrying tennis star John McEnroe.

Patty Smyth credits MTV for this song's success. The song didn't get much radio airplay, but the video got a lot of spins on the network. The clip was a typical, low budget, performance video, but Smyth was easy on the eyes and MTV was hankering for American rock acts, especially females (note Pat Benatar's early acceptance on the network).
