On 1 September, Spotify put up billboards in New York City, Los Angeles, and London to announce the release date of Smith 's new music. The song was released worldwide to download and streaming websites on 8 September. Composition `` Too Good at Goodbyes '' is in the key of D minor in common time with a tempo of 92 beats per minute. The chord progression is Dm -- F -- C -- Gm7. Smith 's vocals span from F to C. Critical reception Jon Blistein from Rolling Stone called Smith 's comeback song `` poignant '' and wrote, `` The piano - led song finds the singer pulling away from a volatile relationship. ' But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry / And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry, ' he sings, soulfully. ' And every time you walk out, the less I love you / Baby, we do n't stand a chance / It 's sad, but it 's true. ' The lilting chorus is buoyed by a choir, as they harmonize, ' I 'm way too good at goodbyes. ' '' Chris Willman of Variety said about the track, `` Once again, Smith is plumbing the depths of melancholia with a flawless, effortlessly flexible tenor that seems to be on loan to the underworld from somewhere in the heavens. There 's not a lot in the track that he, carry - over collaborator Jimmy Napes, and songwriter - producer duo Stargate have come up with to detract from that instrument. For the first minute of the song, Smith 's voice is joined only by the sparsest and most basic piano chords, along with some finger - snapping. Eventually a light beat kicks in, then a gospel choir, as if to almost mock Smith 's romantic lamentation by raising it to the level of spiritual battle. '' Marc Hogan of Pitchfork was more negative, and opined `` ' Too Good at Goodbyes ' does n't so much reflect a person exceptionally skilled in ending relationships as it feels equal parts calculating and convoluted. '' Music video Smith uploaded the official audio to his YouTube and Vevo accounts on 8 September 2017. The audio was later removed when he released the official music video for the song on 18 September 2017. It was filmed in Newcastle upon Tyne. On 29 September 2017, Smith released a video of him performing `` Too Good at Goodbyes '' at the Round Chapel in Hackney. As of 4 November 2017, the music video has been viewed over 190 million times. Chart performance `` Too Good at Goodbyes '' topped the UK Singles Chart on 15 September 2017 - for the week ending dated 21 September 2017 - with 33,000 downloads and 4.4 million streams, dethroning Taylor Swift 's `` Look What You Made Me Do '' from the summit and giving Smith his sixth number - one single on the chart. It also stayed atop the UK charts for three consecutive weeks giving Smith his longest run at number one there. It also debuted at number one in Australia and New Zealand. It is Smith 's first number one single in Australia. In the United States, the song entered at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated 30 September with 90,000 downloads and 20.8 million streams, topping the Digital Songs chart.
