"Goodbyes" is a song by American rapper Post Malone featuring fellow American rapper Young Thug. It was released as the second single from Malone's third studio album, Hollywood's Bleeding, via Republic Records on July 5, 2019, one day after Malone's 24th birthday.{{cite web|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/post-malone-confirms-goodbyes-single-with-young-thug-drops-friday-news.84581.html|title=Post Malone Confirms 'Goodbyes' Single With Young Thug Drops Friday|website=HotNewHipHop|last=Goddard|first=Kevin|date=July 1, 2019|access-date=July 2, 2019}} The song was written by the artists, Billy Walsh, Val Blavatnik, Jessie Foutz, and producers Brian Lee & Louis Bell{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8518390/post-malone-new-single-goodbyes-young-thug|title=Post Malone Announces New Single 'Goodbyes,' Feat.

Along with "Sunflower" and "Wow", Malone achieved three consecutive US Rhythmic No. 1s to come from one album (Hollywood's Bleeding), and was the first time the feat was achieved after Drake's Scorpion spawned three chart leaders in 2018.[https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/8530415/post-malone-goodbyes-no-1-rhythmic-songs-airplay-chart "Post Malone's 'Goodbyes' Says Hello to No. 1 on Rhythmic Songs Chart"] from Billboard (September 19, 2019)
Composition
The song talks about the end of a relationship, and was called "melodic" by Rap-Up, on which Post Malone sings the chorus: "I want you out of my head / I want you out of my bedroom tonight / There's no way I could save you / 'Cause I need to be saved too / I'm no good at goodbyes."{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2019/07/01/post-malone-young-thug-single-goodbyes/|title=Post Malone Announces New Single 'Goodbyes' with Young Thug|work=Rap-Up|date=July 1, 2019|access-date=July 2, 2019}}
Promotion
Post Malone announced the track and its feature and release date on social media on July 1, 2019, sharing an image styled like a film poster for the song, featuring the tagline "Too Much Pleasure Is Pain", a line from the song. He then revealed the cover art of the song on social media on July 2. He then posted a snippet of the beginning of the video of him being stabbed and killed by the enemy team on July 3. The music video was published on the day of the song's release on July 5 and the lyric video was published three days after on July 8.
Music video
The original "R" rated music video was released alongside the song on July 5, and directed by Colin Tilley. It features Malone playing a gang member who dies after being repeatedly stabbed in graphic fashion by a member of a rival gang, before rising from the dead in a graveyard. Young Thug and actress Kathryn Newton also appear in the video.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/watch-post-malone-goodbyes-video-855757/|title=Watch Post Malone Come Back From the Dead in 'Goodbyes' Video|magazine=Rolling Stone|last=Zemler|first=Emily|date=July 5, 2019|access-date=July 5, 2019}} A "PG" version was released on July 7 which omits the graphic sequence.{{Citation|title=Post Malone - "Goodbyes" ft.
