"Goodbye for Now" was the lead single from Testify, P.O.D.'s sixth album, and its secret weapon only turns up at the very end: Katy Perry, 21 at the time, vamps through the closing chorus, and though she got no featured credit back then, she also appears in the video. Sonny Sandoval gets the composer credit.

It got considerable radio play, turned up in promos for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and became the band's most successful single since "Youth of the Nation" in 2002, reaching 48 on the Hot 100, their third entry there, as well as 17 on Mainstream Rock and 25 on Alternative Songs. The video went to number one on MTV's TRL, the band's fourth to get there, and the song later landed on Greatest Hits: The Atlantic Years.
