[edit] Song Information
"Say Goodbye" is a ballad about an unhealthy relationship. The song is about Chris Brown feeling as if his relationship with his girlfriend is not going well and he needs to let her go. The problem is he can never find the right time to break it off with her. The song's lyrics show that he is trying to let his girlfriend down gently rather than just leaving her abruptly.
[edit] Music Video
The song's music video was released July 26, 2006. It features a short clip of the track "Ain't No Way" (from his debut album) at the beginning of the video. The video starts off in a dance studio, where Brown finds himself leaving his girlfriend for a ballerina, and attempting to let her down easily. He tries clearing things with her again outside of the studio, but she ends up walking away angered. She soon finds Brown almost kissing the "other" girl and is heartbroken.
The breakdown of the video is taking place on stage where Brown is performing the song. Both girls come out to do a dance routine, fighting over Brown at the same time. His now ex-girlfriend pulls him closer to her, but he resists and ends up in the arms of the other girl. She exits the stage saddened and Brown leaves the stage also, holding hands with the other girl. The music video turned out to represent the element of the song's sad subject, yet show some "hypeness" in it.
