"Goodbye My Love" is a song that was originally performed by Japanese singer Ann Lewis in 1974. It was composed by Masako Hirao, while the lyrics were penned by Rei Nana. Teng ventured into the Japanese market in 1974 to expand her musical career. During that year, she included the Japanese rendition of "Goodbye My Love" on her debut Japanese album, Kuko / Yukigesho, which was released under PolyGram Records in October 1974.
The following year, in 1975, Teresa Teng released the Chinese version of the song as part of the album Goodbye My Love. It quickly became a signature piece in her repertoire and a staple in her concert performances.
