Titled "Mariah Carey Week" and airing live on April 14, 2008, the contestants were to perform a song from Carey's catalog. Carey performed "Bye Bye" for the final time on the seventh season of American Idol, where she was featured as a mentor for the top-seven week. Carey first performed the song on T4, followed by Good Morning America and The Oprah Winfrey Show. "Bye Bye" was performed on few live televised appearances, in comparison to the large promotional boost given to "Touch My Body". Throughout other countries where it found release, the song achieved relatively weak charting, peaking within the top ten in New Zealand, and in the top-fifty in Canada, Ireland, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. Though expected by critics to have surely become Carey's nineteenth chart-topping single in the United States, following the success of "Touch My Body", the track only managed to reach a peak position of number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100. Many reviewers complimented its simple production, as well as its very personal and inspirational lyrics, while some criticized it for being too simple for an artist of Carey's caliber. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many considering it a highlight from the album. Lyrically, the song features a dialogue in between Carey and her deceased father throughout the verses, and a universal salute to departed loved ones on the chorus, where she sings "This is for everybody, just lift your hands to the sky, cause we won't ever say bye bye". The song draws influence from pop and R&B music genres, and features a piano and keyboard-driven melody. It was released as the album's second single on April 15, 2008, in the United States, Australasia and select European countries.

Look for meanings of other funeral songs at Bye" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, taken from her eleventh studio album, E=MC²(2008). Saying goodbye may sound simple, but uttering it to the person you love the most will be the hardest thing to do especially when you know that he will never be coming back. In reality, there will be times when you will ask the question “what if…?”. The lyrics are very dynamic as they talk about a grieving person’s feelings and his thoughts about the death of a loved one from the time when he feels betrayed by the person who left him to the time when he is ready to move on with his life and learn something out of this emotional experience.Įven though it talks about saying goodbye and moving on, there are also sections of the song where the lines talk about regret. As the song goes on and the lyrics unravel, it will take the listeners to an emotional place where they could remember their deceased loved ones even if those people have already passed a few years back.Īs funeral quotes are made, this song is also dedicated to all of those people who have lost someone from a child, to a parent, and from an officemate to a neighbor. It is one of those pieces that do have very meaningful and emotional lines. I’d still give the world to see your face This is for my people’s who lost their grandmothers Its so hard to accept the fact you gone forever Or the teddy bear you give me I held so tight I remember when you use to tuck me in at night I wish that we can spend the holidays together I wish that you was here to celebrate together You never let me know it, you never let it show Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your ladyĪnd I missed you, but what we talked throughĪll them grown folk things, separation brings
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody,
