Goodbye Song is a 4:14 emotional ballad from Tanvi the Great (2025, Zee Music Company), composed by the RRR Academy Award-winning M. M. Keeravani and sung by Shagun Sodhi. Directed by and starring Anupam Kher, the film tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21-year-old autistic woman who dreams of joining the Indian Army to fulfil her late father's wish of saluting the flag at Siachen Glacier. Keeravani, making his full Hindi film scoring debut as a primary composer, brings his signature orchestral grandeur to this farewell song that anchors the film's emotional register of loss and love.

M. M. Keeravani's orchestral palette is unmistakable in Goodbye Song — sweeping strings, a restrained piano line, and a choral undercurrent that gives the song a semi-sacred quality. Shagun Sodhi's voice carries a natural plaintive quality ideally suited to the song's emotional register. Keeravani, whose work on RRR (2022) and its song 'Naatu Naatu' won him international recognition, brings the full weight of his cinematic experience to this quieter, more intimate number.

The lyric of Goodbye Song works in the register of acceptance rather than grief — the parting acknowledged without being dramatised. Kausar Munir's verse for the film tends toward the direct and heartfelt rather than the ornate, suited to a story about a young woman with autism whose inner world is powerfully real but differently expressed.

Goodbye Song was composed as part of M. M. Keeravani's first full Hindi film score, released 13 days before the film's theatrical opening on July 18, 2025. Anupam Kher, in his directorial debut, cast Shubhangi Dutt as Tanvi — a debutant. The film was selected for screening at IFFI (International Film Festival of India) 2025.

Tanvi the Great's soundtrack represents M. M. Keeravani's most sustained engagement with the Hindi film music mainstream, and Goodbye Song — as one of its most emotionally direct tracks — will be central to how the score is remembered.
