"Bye Bye Bye" is the lead single from N Sync's third studio album, No Strings Attached. The lyrics describe the end of a romantic relationship; it was reported to also reference the group's separation from their disastrous manager Lou Pearlman.
"Bye Bye Bye" was a commercial success, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and within the top 10 in almost every country in which it charted.
It was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, as part of Cheiron Productions, with additional writing by Andreas Carlsson. Cheiron is mostly known as the early hit-makers for Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.
The song won "Best Pop Video", "Best Choreography in a Video", and "Viewer's Choice" at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the most awarded to a single video that year. It also won a Radio Music Radio award in 2000 for best song of the year. It was nominated for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
It received a total of 81,6% yes votes.
On a fun personal note, the maxi single was sent to me as promotion for N Sync when I got a bunch of Backstreet Boys stuff for free from their record label, lol. (Knowing someone who knew someone.) I was like, okay ig they snuck this new boyband in. 🤷♀️
