"Bye Bye"
Song
B-side"I'm Alright"

"Bye, Bye" is a song written by Rory Michael Bourke and Phil Vassar, and recorded by American country music singer Jo Dee Messina. It was released in January 1998 as the first single from her album I'm Alright, and her first number-one single on both the U.S.[1] and Canadian country charts, spending two weeks at number one on the former. "Bye, Bye" was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 4, 1998, alongside "I'm Alright."

Phil Vassar, who co-wrote the song, included his own rendition on his 2006 album, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 using slight lyrical changes to appeal to the male point-of-view as Messina’s version was using the female point-of-view. Pop singer Taylor Horn covered it in 2002 for her debut album, taylor-made.
