Guitarist Brian Mashburn wrote "Goodbye", words and music, and Save Ferris sent it out at the end of 1997 as the second single from their debut album, It Means Everything, hot on the heels of their cover of Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen".

The band had come up fast. KROQ put their 1996 EP Introducing Save Ferris on the air, singer Monique Powell doubled as their manager, and a performance at the Grammy Awards landed them a deal with Epic. They made the album mostly at NRG and The Hook in Hollywood between April and June 1997: a ska record with a swing kick, one that drew comparisons to No Doubt. Reviews were mostly warm, and some critics singled out what Powell and Mashburn brought to it.
