On September 22 1998, The Power of Good-Bye was released as the third North American single from the Ray Of Light album. It was the fourth single in international markets that opted to release Drowned World/Substitute For Love as the album’s third single.
In the UK, the release was promoted as a double A-side single with Little Star.
The Power Of Good-Bye was written by Madonna & Rick Nowels and was produced by Madonna, William Orbit & Patrick Leonard. An earlier demo version of the track, believed to have been produced by Madonna & Leonard prior to Orbit’s involvement in the project, leaked in 2002.

The Power of Goodbye-Perhaps the best, saddest and most complete performance of Madonna’s entire career-Say hello to Detroit brilliance!
A song I’ve grown to love over the years. Only #33 in Aus but the video was on constant play on the video stations for 2-3miths. which was the same for all the ROL videos. Just also glad in Oz we got the remixes EP.
