## Audio

**Bye-Good-Bye** is a song by BE:FIRST. It is the title track in their second single Bye-Good-Bye and the fifteenth track in their first album BE:1. It was pre-released digitally on March 7, 2022.

## Background and Release

On February 7, one week after Brave Generation's release, Bye-Good-Bye was announced as the main song for the second single. It had been performed on January 29-30 at THE FIRST FINAL, although no details about the song were provided at the time.

On February 8, morning news program ZIP! announced Bye-Good-Bye would be the theme song for their morning drama *Sayounara no Sono Mae ni* airing weekdays from March 1 - 31, 2022, however no release date for the single was given.

Finally, on February 28, on BE:FIRST no SPARK, it was announced the song would have an advanced digital release March 7, with a CD release May 18.

This "positive goodbye song" was composed by SKY-HI and Chaki Zulu, a producer who has worked with a variety of artists, both major and underground, within various genres. Lyrics were written by SKY-HI and sty, who has written many hit songs. Chaki Zulu and sty had both previously worked with SKY-HI during THE FIRST to write the song "Be Free."

On April 6, it was revealed that the song would be used in a Canellétte commercial campaign, in which BE:FIRST would be starring themselves.

On May 12, 2023, BE:FIRST appeared on renowned YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE and performed a newly arranged, funk-style version of Bye-Good-Bye.

**English Translation**
Wait

Just a little longer

I reach out with my hand

To the dream that I long for

Now within my reach, now before my eyes

God, I still want you

Yeah, you were a trip

Of expectations and uncertainty

Yeah, I took that first sip

I can’t stay this way, not now or ever

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

You borrowed my heart

Forever

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

You say “I’ve gotta go”

Then our eyes lock

And our words slow

“Why are you holding back?”

“Hm?”

Your eyes ask the question

And I want to answer 1, 2 Step

I’ll just sing with all my heart

All eyes on us

Baby

But you know

It doesn’t end with this bye-bye

Yeah Yeah

We’ll meet again in our dreams

A bye bye for the ages

You’ll never stop

Yeah yeah

A goodbye can be a green light

That’s right

I wanna embrace all the joy

Even the sadness High five

Cos I’m not alone

Thank you and bye bye

Through every tear, for all my life

I'll sing for you

We’re gonna get high

No stopping us now

Stay fly

Are we on standby?

Keep your eyes on that go sign. Start again and again

You’re up next

No matter what lies around the corner

I’m ready to grab it

So thanks - the heart that you hurt and all of these tears

Shone a new light on tomorrow and illuminated my dreams

Wait!

Just a little bit longer

You’ve gotta remember

To never look away

Always keep your guard up

Can’t stop us now!

We’re in motion Days

Hope this is our fate

Hope this is our fate

Your eyes are telling me something

I’d like to tell you something too

I’ll just sing with all my heart

All eyes on us!

Baby

But you know

It doesn’t end with this bye-bye

Yeah Yeah

We’ll meet again in our dreams

A bye bye for the ages

You’ll never stop

Yeah yeah

A goodbye can be a green light

That’s right

I wanna embrace all the joy

Even the sadness High Five

‘Cos I’m not alone

Thank you and Bye Bye

Through every tear, for all my life

I'll sing for you

## Trivia

* Following Shining One and Gifted., Bye-Good-Bye is BE:FIRST's third single to win two Oricon digital ranking titles within the same week making them the first artist in history to do so.
* In addition to placing #1 in the overall Billboard Japan Hot 100, Bye-Good-Bye took first place in each of the categories it charted in: Downloads, Streaming, Radio, Twitter mentions, YouTube, and Buzz.
* The boys could not learn Bye-Good-Bye's choreography directly from Quick Style, as they could not get to Japan, so they had to learn from reference videos the group sent them.
* The boys had to learn the choreography in three days in order to perform the song for the first time at THE FIRST FINAL.
