Goodbye &Good Riddance is the debut studio album by American rapper Juice Wrld. It was released on May 23,2018,by Grade A Productions and Interscope Records. [7] Production was primarily handled by Nick Mira alongside several other record producers,including Benny Blanco,Cardo,CBMix,Don Rob,Dre Moon,Ghost Loft,and Mitch Mula.
The album has been reissued multiple times,most notably to include the singles “Wasted”featuring American rapper Lil Uzi Vert and "Armed and Dangerous" on some streaming platforms.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio,Juice Wrld spoke on the background of the album,stating:
[I'm] just trying to make music to help people through their situations and tell them about some of my own. It's all genuine, so I think that's what adds to it. Back in high school, even before that, I was good at freestyling. Then I started rapping, and I recorded a few records that didn't have any substance. I thought 'why not put my heart into what I'm making? [8]
The album was originally uploaded to SoundCloud under the title Fuck You Bella; this would later be changed to Goodbye & Good Riddance, with all references to the titular Bella being removed from the tracklist. For example, a skit titled "Bella's Betrayal" was changed to simply "Betrayal". [9] [10]
On July 10, 2018, the album was reissued to include the track “Wasted” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, which was also released as a single on the same day. This edition of the album would later be released on vinyl.

Jay Balfour of Pitchfork described Goodbye & Good Riddance as "an adolescent breakup record that is equal parts endearing and grating", praising the album's sound: "his heart-on-his-sleeve coping sounds both ingratiating and grating. In that way at least, he's bottled up sad sap adolescence remarkably well". [2] Bryan Hahn of HipHopDX criticized the lyricism for being "without any focus on creative stanzas or convincing in-depth first-person experiences". He later said Higgins has the potential to grow as an artist, remarking "Juice's best potential songwriting is yet to come" and "Juice feels willing to keep things interesting for the sake of art and is backed by a moderate understanding (and interest) in varied melodies and cadences". [15]
In the 2022 listing, Rolling Stone named Goodbye & Good Riddance the 199th greatest hip-hop album of all time. [1]
Goodbye & Good Riddance debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard 200 with 39,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.

[19] As of March 2019, Goodbye & Good Riddance has earned a million album-equivalent units in the United States. [20] On May 23, 2023, the album was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over five million units. [21]
