More information about this song is here Bye Bye Love is from The Cars' 1978 eponymous debut album. It was written by Ric Ocasek and sung by bassist Benjamin Orr.
Bye Bye Love is one of The Cars' oldest songs, dating back to the mid 1970s. The song was first performed, and recorded as a demo, by the band Cap'n Swing, which featured Ocasek, Orr, and guitarist Elliot Easton as members. In this early version, the recurring keyboard theme between the verse lyrics was significantly different.
The song was later revived to appear on The Cars in 1978. Although the song was not released as a single, it has received regular airplay since the album was released.
Rolling Stone critic Kit Rachlis said in his review of The Cars that the songs bristle and -- in their harsher, more angular moments (Bye Bye Love Don't Cha Stop) -- bray. Jaime Welton, author of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, described the track as a fan favorite, praising Elliot Easton as an unsung hero, littering songs like Bye Bye Love with staggeringly good fills. AllMusic critic Greg Prato called it one of the lesser-known compositions [that] are just as exhilarating as the familiar hits on The Cars.
