"Goodbye" was the Bosnian and Herzegovinian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997, performed in Bosnian (despite the English of the title) by Alma Čardžić.

Written and composed by Milić Vukašinović, the song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Estonia's Maarja with "Keelatud Maa" and preceding Portugal's Célia Lawson with "Antes Do Adeus").

The song is a plea from the singer to her lover not to end their relationship. She suggests a series of things which he could do, just as long as he doesn't "say the two words, which mean it's over" (the two words being "Goodbye, darling" - "Zbogom ljubavi" in Bosnian).

Due to the expansion of the Contest, the 1998 Contest was only open to countries with high average placings - and Bosnia and Herzegovina had not achieved such. Thus, the song was succeeded as Bosnian and Herzegovinian representative in the 1999 Contest by Dino and Béatrice with "Putnici".
