The song was the most added song on Australian radio in the week of release.[5]
In a statement, Sebastian said: "This was the very first song I wrote when I sat down to start this new album and it says so much about what I was feeling at the time. In fact, the vocal is still the demo vocal from the writing session because it just felt honest."[4]
Jas H from Amnpify said: "'Before I Go' brings the singer songwriter's vocals and soaring delivery to an emotive and captivating place, setting the tone and anticipation around his forthcoming new music." He added: "The new song is about self belief and taking control of your own destiny and legacy regardless of the limitations people or obstacles in your path may place over you".[6] Universal Publishing Group said, "The powerful anthem runs with soulful and passionate depths, reaching new heights with its catchiness and honesty."[7]
