Goodbye (If You Call That Gone)

Goodbye (If You Call That Gone) is the debut studio album by Australian singer-songwriter May-a. The album was announced alongside its third single "Claws" on 28 November 2025 and was released on 20 February 2026.

Upon announcement May-a said: "I really didn't want this album to get tied down into any specific sound or genre. I think I've kind of avoided that for my whole musical career thus far, because I don't really know where I want to go."

Critical reception

Lauren McNamara from Rolling Stone Australia said, "[The] long-awaited debut, Goodbye (If You Call That Gone), doesn't arrive with a neat bow. Instead, it shape shifts. Pop dissolves into rock, rage softens into sweetness, and sadness claws its way out from under anger. It's messy, cathartic, and thrillingly alive."

Triple J said "On this record, the Sydney songwriter sounds like she's found herself, with songs that break boundaries and feel good doing it. Balancing the bombastic and the beautiful, it's an album that showcases May-A's vulnerable lyricism and excellent pop instincts."
