Jo Dee Messina – Bye Bye (1998)
Directed by: Jon Small
Bye Bye, released on January 12, 1998, is an energetic country anthem by Jo Dee Messina that narrates the empowerment of moving on from a stagnant relationship. Written by Rory Bourke and Phil Vassar, it became Messina’s first number-one single on both the U.S. and Canadian country charts, spending two weeks at the top in the U.S. The accompanying music video, directed by Jon Small, features Messina driving a ’67 Pontiac GTO convertible, symbolizing her departure from an unfaithful lover, and performing with her band on a bustling city street.
