"Goodbye to Yesterday" is a song by all-female German pop group No Angels. It was written by Pelle Ankarberg, Joacim Persson, Niclas Molinder, and David Jassy and produced by Swedish production team Twin for the band's comeback record, their fourth studio album Destiny (2007). No Angels' first release after a three-year hiatus, the song also marked their first commercial release to feature the group's second lineup, which excluded original band member Vanessa Petruo. Musically, "Goodbye to Yesterday" is a piano-led pop ballad with elements of pop rock; the song's lyrics are about the breakdown of a relationship which the female protagonist refuses to start all over again.
The song was released by Polydor and Universal Domestic Pop as the album's first single in March 2007 and debuted and peaked at number four on the German Singles Chart. It also entered the top twenty in Switzerland and on a composite Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart, as well as the top thirty of the Austrian Singles Chart, resulting in a total of 30,000 sold copies. "Goodbye to Yesterday" was promoted on several television and award shows such as the 2007 Echo Awards, TV Total, and The Dome and later included in the set lists of their 2010 An Intimate Evening with No Angels tour and their 2022 Celebration Tour.
