"Boy Bye" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton, released on August 15, 2019 as the third single from their fifth studio album Ginger (2019). It contains a sample from "Ejazeh" by Dariush.
The production is made up of mostly percussion with occasional melody.[1] Lyrically, Brockhampton members rap about dealing with stress, anxiety and depression resulting from traumatic pasts, as well as self-medication.[2]
The music video was directed by Spencer Ford and released on August 14, 2019. It finds Brockhampton playing basketball[3] [4] (during which Dom McLennon is seen twirling the ball) and fighting while covered in blue body paint, Matt Champion dangling inside a glass box that is lifted by a forklift,[5] Kevin Abstract being shirtless and surrounded by candles in darkness, a giant sitting in a field, Bearface in a warehouse, and Joba being chased by extraterrestrials wearing masks and silver space suits.
Brockhampton performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 6, 2019.[6]
