Music Video
The music video for "Goodbye to Yesterday" saw the band reuniting with German director Marcus Sternberg, with whom the band had previously collaborated on five clips between the years of 2002 and 2003, including their ECHO Award-winning video for "Something about Us." Entirely filmed on-stage at the Berlin Union Studios in Berlin-Tempelhof, Germany on February 9, 2007, it was shot over seventeen hours, involving choreography by former Fame Academy judge, Mölling's spouse Renick Bernadina. As reported, the four band members bore the production costs of an estimated €90,000 partly by themselves as their record company Universal Music Domestic considered the shoot too high in price to incur additional expenses.
The video does not have a substantial plot but incorporates the idea of a behind the scenes documentary film look, involving outtakes and making-of shots. It primarily focuses on each of the girls performing their verses on one of the four main sets; with Nadja Benaissa sitting at a pier, Jessica Wahls standing in the rain in front of a bar, Sandy Mölling performing in an artificial snow flurry, and Diakovska dancing on a chimney-pocked rooftop. A one and a half minutes preview of the edited music video was aired on February 22, 2007 on German television channel ProSieben at 8.13 PM. The full version was eventually premiered on February 23 at the end of VIVA's show Neu. A making-of-clip of the video was released on a digital video disc on the album's re-release edition, Destiny Reloaded (2008).

“All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
