Bye-Good-ByeBE:FIRST

The second single from BE:FIRST, a boys group born from THE FIRST, an audition produced by rapper and music producer SKY-HI.

In contrast to their debut single “Gifted,” which stirred the public with its majestic worldview, this track is a poppy, danceable number! The lyrics, written by SKY-HI himself, make it a positive breakup song that says even after parting, a future full of hope awaits.

Be sure to pay attention to the vocals and rap—each member has the potential to take center stage.
