"Goodbye in Her Eyes" is a song recorded by American country music group Zac Brown Band. It was released in October 2012 as the second single from the group's third major-label album, Uncaged. The song was written by Zac Brown, Wyatt Durrette, John Driskell Hopkins and Sonia Leigh.[1] [2]
The song is about an impending breakup.[3]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, writing that "it’s a big, ambitious production that a group with less talent wouldn’t consider. It takes a few listens, but the song will hook you."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, calling it a "lyrically interesting, smart song" and "as smooth as a glass of aged single barrel southern bourbon."[5]
The music video was directed by Wayne Isham and premiered in November 2012.[6]
