Michelle Branch and Maren Morris have released a duet version of Branch's hit Goodbye to You, out now via BMG. The reworked track turns the song into a full duet rather than a straight re-recording, with the two Grammy winners trading its lines about change, independence and letting go. The release comes with a Laguna Beach-themed video. Kristin Cavallari, who rose to fame on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, appears alongside Branch and Morris in the nostalgia-soaked clip.

She called the shoot a fun, full-circle experience.Branch said she was beyond thrilled to be joining Morris on her beautiful rendition of Goodbye to You. She added that people can call her crazy, but she prefers Morris's version to the original.Morris, who has cited Branch as a formative influence, said Branch was really encouraging to let her make the song her own. She added that Branch's songwriting has always been ahead of its time.The pair first previewed the collaboration last month when Branch made a surprise appearance during Morris's 10th-anniversary celebration of her debut album.The new version is part of Everywhere and Back Again, Branch's EP marking 25 years in music, due Nov. 6 via BMG.

Branch went on to win a Grammy for her 2002 Carlos Santana collaboration The Game of Love, which reached No. 5 on the Hot 100.She also topped the Hot Country Songs chart with Leave the Pieces as one half of the duo the Wreckers in 2006.
