"Goodbye to Yesterday" was almost exclusively written for the No Angels's comeback album, and commissioned by the band's A&R manager Nik Hafemann after their secret reunion in mid-2006. The band has described the mid-tempo song as an example of their musical and lyrical developement and personal maturity in the last few years of their break: "It typifies everything we have to say," Lucy Diakovska said in an interview with NRJ Radio.^[1] "It's not about biding farewell to something, but about flipping a new chapter open and ... putting experiences into practice."^[2] Produced by longtime contributors Niclas Molinder, and Joacim Persson, "Goodbye to Yesterday" was recorded in late January 2007 and eventually selected as the album's lead single out of a total of seven songs.^[3]

Although the full track was given its first ever radio airplay at midnight of February 1, 2007, a twenty-second clip of "Goodbye to Yesterday" was previewed on RTL's news programme Punkt 12 on January 31. By February 2 the entire track was ripped from radio, and had leaked onto the internet.

The song's music video was directed by Marcus Sternberg and entirely filmed in the Berlin Union Studios in Berlin-Tempelhof in the week of February 5, 2007.^[4] It was shot over seventeen hours and choreographed by former Fame Academy judge Renick Bernadina.^[5] As reported, the four band members beared the production costs of an estimated €90,000 partly by themselves since Polydor considered the shoot too high in price.^[6]

The video does not have a substantial plot but incorporates the idea of a behind the scenes documentary film look, involving outtakes and making of shots. It primarily focuses on each of the girls performing their verses on one of the four sets; with Nadja Benaissa sitting at a pier, Jessica Wahls standing in the rain in front of a bar, Sandy Mölling performing in an artifical snow flurry, and Diakovska dancing on a roof.

A one and a half minutes preview of the edited music video was aired on February 22, 2006 on German television channel ProSieben at 8.13 PM. The full version was eventually premiered on February 23 at the end of VIVA's show Neu.
