Songfacts®:

  • "Bye" is an emotionally charged breakup anthem that delivers a series of poignant verses dripping with melancholy. The song hits hard, leaving a lasting impact as each verse cuts through with raw emotion.

    Bye,
    Mejor sigue tu camino
    Mientras fumo y tomo vino
    Que estar contigo ya no me convino.


    In English, it translates as:
    Bye,
    Better be on your way
    While I smoke and drink wine
    Being with you no longer suits me.


    This powerful confession from Peso Pluma exposes the depths of his heartache, resulting from a betrayal in love. The song captures the menacing essence of his emotions as he reflects on how his once pure heart has been tainted by this romantic deception.
  • Peso Pluma and Parka's production incorporates an emotive trumpet melody that tugs at the heartstrings, evoking deep emotions within the listener. The slapping guitarrón adds a rhythmic intensity, delivering a powerful impact that resonates throughout the track.

    A guitarrón is a large, six-stringed bass guitar that is typically played in mariachi music. It's like a traditional guitar in appearance, but much larger and with a deeper sound. The guitarrón is played with a pick or fingernails and is used to provide the bass line in mariachi ensembles.
  • Peso Pluma released "Bye" on May 26, 2023. It became his second solo single to chart on the Hot 100, following his slowed-down sierreño number "Por Las Noches." He's also charted with a string of collaborations since first entering the listing in February 2023 with his joint song with Natanael Cano and Gabito Ballesteros, "AMG."
