Remix of the Day
Mariah Carey--BYE BYE REMIX (feat. Jay-Z)
Bye Bye" is a song co-written by American singer Mariah Carey, Johnta Austin and Stargate for Carey's eleventh studio album, E=MC², and is the second single from the album. The single was produced by Carey and Stargate.
MTV stated that although the song appears to be about her deceased father, Carey "extends this song about death to be for anybody 'who just lost somebody'". Carey believed that by making "Bye Bye" more open, "everybody could kind of be healed by the song and have their own experience listening to it
In its review of the song, VH1 said that the song appears to be too basic for an artist like Carey, and that it was like "insurance — in case nothing else is a hit, here's a sure-shot". In contrast, Rap-Up.com stated that "Bye Bye" was "a song everyone can relate to and it will get some listeners teary-eyed."; it also stated that the single would "probably be Mariah's 19th #1". Similarly, Bill Lamb from About.com stated that although "[n]othing is ever a sure bet to be a #1 hit, ["Bye Bye"] is about as close as it gets"; he also stated that the song has "universal appeal". Bob Burke from FMQB.com stated that the single was "another gem with multi-format hit potential" and that the single was "destined to be her nineteenth #1 hit."
"Bye Bye" debuted at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 as the "Hot Shot Debut" (Issue Date: May 3).
Producer Jermaine Dupri confirmed with MTV that a remix of "Bye Bye" was in the works, featuring Jay-Z
