Background

In August 2013 Carlisle's studio albums released in the UK by Virgin were re-issued by Demon Music Group complete with notes and interviews with Carlisle in the booklets. In the Heaven on Earth booklet, Carlisle mentioned that she had re-teamed with long-term songwriter Ellen Shipley to record the track which was to be released the following Spring along with a song entitled "Why" which she had written ten years previously with Charlotte and Thomas Caffey.

In early 2014, Demon Music Group announced that they would be releasing a new career retrospective entitled The Collection which would include "Goodbye Just Go" as a new song. The song was previewed on Carlisle's YouTube channel on January 24, 2014. [1]
