Good Goodbye Lyrics (Korean)


[Verse 1]
나를 그냥 짓밟고 가
괜찮아 돌아보지 마
내가 아파봤자 너만 하겠니
이젠 너를 헤아려봐
날 위해 쉬던 그 숨은 잊고
저 위에 널 위해 just kill my ego

[Pre-Chorus]
등 돌려 걸어가
You got it, you got it, yeah

[Chorus]
안녕은 우릴 아프게 하지만 우아할 거야 (Oh-oh-oh)
나 땅을 치고 후회하도록 넌 크게 웃어줘
Goodby-y-ye

By-ye-ye, ya-ya-ye
By-ye-ye, ya-ya-ye (By-y-ye)

후회하도록 goodby-y-ye

널 생각한 운율이야
비로소 느껴지잖아
눈물은 고이고 찬란하게 빛나
우린 좋은 안녕 중이야

고맙단 말 대신 전할게
Goodbye, good goodbye, yeah

세상이 나를 빤히 내려다봐도
내 편이 돼 줄 사람 하나 없어도
Don't worry, it's okay
난 내 곁에 있을게
I'll be on my side instead of you

[Chorus]
안녕은 나를 아프게 하지만 울어볼 거야 (Oh-oh-oh)
땅을 치고 후회해도 좋아 우리 이렇게
Goodby-y-ye

Good Goodbye Song Meaning (HWASA)

From the very first lines “나를 그냥 짓밟고 가 / 괜찮아 돌아보지 마”, Good Goodbye confronts a painful rupture: one party is physically or emotionally stepping away, and the singer gives permission not to look back. But rather than bitterness, there is dignity. The song’s emotional logic hinges on a paradox: to hurt—and yet to remain graceful.

Emotional Arc & Lyrical Storytelling

The structure leads us through stages of separation:

Verse 1 / Pre-Chorus: Hwasa refuses pleading or watching (“괜찮아 돌아보지 마”) and begins to let go of her ego, the “숨은 잊고 / just kill my ego.”
Chorus: The farewell is painful yet framed as “우아할 거야” (it will be graceful). She demands that the other party “웃어줘 / 나 땅을 치고 후회하도록,” asking for a dramatic closure—so that she can own the pain and they must face remorse.
Verse 2 / Bridge: The imagery shifts: “눈물은 고이고 찬란하게 빛나 / 우린 좋은 안녕 중이야” suggests that tears are not weakness but luminous. The bridge asserts internal strength: even if no one stands with her, “난 내 곁에 있을게 / I’ll be on my side instead of you.”
Final Chorus / Outro: She reclaims the farewell, accepting that even regret “울어볼 거야” is part of her catharsis. The repeated “by-ye-ye” becomes a mantra — a final, stylized goodbye.

So the song isn’t about blaming or begging; it’s a solemn, self-affirming parting. It acknowledges pain but shapes the narrative: she will survive, and the farewell will be hers on her terms.

Real-Life Context & Artistic Intention

At the time of release, Good Goodbye marks Hwasa’s long-anticipated comeback after about a year away. In teasers and visual snippets, the music video suggests themes of departure and introspection: Hwasa in a white dress, luggage, and seaside scenes — visual metaphors of journey, loss, and stillness. The casting of actor Park Jeong-min in the teaser adds a cinematic romance, amplifying emotional tension in the unseen backstory.

Though there is no direct interview confirming a specific personal event behind Good Goodbye, the song’s tone aligns with Hwasa’s established artistic identity: strong, introspective, unafraid to expose vulnerability while retaining agency. The lyric credits include Hwasa, Park Woo Sang, and Shinae An — she is directly involved in shaping the song’s voice.

For listeners, Good Goodbye offers more than heartbreak: it’s a model of how to exit with self-respect. The repeated assertion that goodbye “will be graceful” reframes separation not as failure but as transformation. For fans of Hwasa, it may mark a new chapter — one in which she asserts emotional sovereignty, even in sorrow.
