Out of all the KPop girl groups that have tried to make headway in the world, few did as well as 2NE1. Many people consider 2NE1 the second biggest girl group in KPop, with only Girls Generation surpassing them. Sadly, to the shock of many KPop fans, 2NE1 disbanded at the end of 2016. With Minzy leaving the group and Bom having health issues, YG Entertainment decided to end the group. However, before they disbanded they put out one of the most deepest, real, honest songs I have ever heard, Goodbye.
Musically, this song is simple, but fantastic, the acoustic guitar sets the sad mood the song is going for perfectly. It is not complex or tricky but for a song like this, that is fine, it still sounds good and plays a huge part in getting the songs message across. All three girls sound great in this song. Every one carries their sections perfectly and drives the lyrical meaning to the point that you really feel the sadness they feel about disbanding.
Lyrically, this is one of the most honest and real songs I have ever heard. CL did a great job of writing lyrics that are communicating their hurt to the audience. They don't hold back their feelings, and this is the kind of lyric writing I love seeing. They don't try to be overly fancy or cool sounding, they choose to be real, and that is what I admire.
I am not the biggest 2NE1 fan, but I have to admit that they did a fantastic farewell song here. The message is communicated clearly, the melody is great, and the simple acoustic guitar creates a very great song that makes even someone like me, who is not a huge fan of 2NE1, feel bad that they are disbanding. When you have a song that does that you have done something right. I wish all the members of 2NE1 the best and hope they are all very successful in their future careers. For having not just a good sounding song, but a very honest song, I give Goodbye a 5 out of 5.
