"Bye" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande from her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine (2024).

Composition

"Bye" is two minutes and 45 seconds long. [1] The song is a lavish and retro-inspired dance-pop, [2] disco, [3] and disco funk [4] song with elements of Philadelphia soul echoing the sound of 1970s pop music. [5] "Bye" features strings, adding in the disco influences throughout the song. Lyrically, Grande sings about how she is prepared to leave her partner, with her friend ready to pick her up. [5]

Critical reception

Upon release, the song received positive reviews from music critics. Kyle Denis of Billboard called the song "fantastic", ranking it at number three in the parent album's track ranking. Denis praised the song's pre-chorus and the usage of funk and disco influences. [2] Nick Levine, a writer at NME deemed the song an album highlight, saying Grande is "playing disco diva". [6] In a review of the parent album, Rolling Stone and Variety likened the song to " seventies pop" [5] with the latter publication likening the song's sound to Gamble and Huff and Beyoncé. [7]
