Below, find Akon and Lil Wayne's added verses, and a 15-sec audio clip.
Akon: I know, I know you're gone I know I'll see you again One thing that I can promise We gon' meet up again Hopefully up in heaven Prayin' that I'm forgiven For everything that I've done And that I forgot to mention.
It feels so bad to be Without my homie And ever since you've been absent I've been so lonely Why this life must cycle around Like a trophy Even though somebody Took the time to warn me.
That you can be with me And it's just crazy And everyday I'm wishing That you come save me And I know a man Ain't supposed to cry It's taken all the strength In my soul to say goodbye.
Lil Wayne: How come they call it goodbye? How come the good die? See I just get high And think of the good times That I had with my pop He was a good guy How come the good die?
As I protect my mother 'Cause I'm her oldest son And there are different worlds And we in the coldest one Which one did granny go to? And why do death come? As my baby asks Where do babies come from
I tell her where I tell her why I tell her I love her Until I tell her bye And whenever I Shall ever die I hope you celebrate it I hope you never hate it
And they say heaven's gated But I think I know the code And let's get your life right By the end of the road That's why I drive alone Down memory lane So if I crash I hope ya'll remember Wayne.

Saturday, 17-May-2008, 2:24PM EDT | Posted by Lynn Ask Billboard: "Bye Bye" To Say "Hi Hi" Top 10 Soon
I'm a big Mariah Carey fan, and am incredibly shocked at the downward slide of her new single "Bye Bye" on the Billboard Hot 100.
It was the Hot Shot Debut (at No. 23) a few weeks ago, and her highest debut in years. Why do you think it has lost popularity? Does it have a chance to even make it into the top 10? -- Carlos Anino
Keith Caulfield from Ask Billboard replies:
Don't panic!
"Bye Bye" is headed back up the Billboard Hot 100. On the chart dated May 24, it zips from No. 38 to No. 27. Its radio airplay has been increasing over the past few weeks, so it should only continue to go higher.
The song debuted so high a couple weeks ago due to strong digital download sales. However, at the time, the airplay of the song wasn't big enough to keep the song from sliding down the Hot 100 in the ensuing weeks.
But, all is right in the world now, and "Bye Bye" should say "Hi Hi" to the top 10 quite soon.

Bye Bye MARIAH CAREY Producers: Stargate, Mariah Carey Label: Island
One "Touch" was enough to convince the masses that at 38, Mariah Carey is as much a chart tigress as anyone half her age. Sure enough, "E=MC2" launch single "Touch My Body" became her 18th No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single. That playful romp is followed by a reminder that Mimi is as capable of putting a weighty message in front without sacrificing melodic juice. "Bye Bye" offers comfort for anyone suffering loss: "This is for my peoples who just lost somebody, your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady/Lift your head to the sky, cos we will never say bye." A tinkly piano-driven groove escorts the lyrical embrace, with oozy synths, a flush of R&B via male shout-outs of "Eh!" and a vocal that builds to a fitting tour-de-force crescendo, though pushed down in the mix to maintain decorum. "Bye" seems poised to have Carey greet the top of the pops for a 19th time. --Chuck Taylor
Simplicity at it's best... Take one Mariah Carey and add just a dash of Stargate and you have a recipe for magic as Miss Carey pulls an utterly delicious track out the bag
The Mariah album E=MC² looks to be shorter than usual on ballad type of material- that is so often distinctly handled by the record breaking diva. The production on this track is first class via the Stargate boys, who surely must be in line for a second release from the album with the infectious 'That Chick' (but that's another review).
For all you lovers out there be prepared to break-up and make-up to this one as only Mariah Carey can deliver starters, main course and afters all in one go! An absolutely stunning track, sung in an absolutely stunning manor by an absolutely stunning diva. And I normally hate Bye Bye's!

MARIAH CAREY "Bye Bye" (Island/IDJMG)
The last time Mariah Carey and Johnta Austin collaborated, it resulted in the two biggest hits of Carey's career with "We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget About Us." So it should come as no surprise that "Bye Bye" is another gem with multi-format hit potential. While Carey has delivered her share of great uptempo hits throughout the years, some might agree that nowadays MC sounds best on records that evoke this kind of emotion and passion. Carey knows how to connect with the audience on a personal level and this song about loss is no exception and is sure to strike a chord with many. Songwriting is an art and no one has perfected that art form better than Mariah Carey, who has delivered a single that is destined to be her nineteenth #1 hit. BET ON IT! (Burke's Best Bet)
Wednesday, 09-Apr-2008, 12:06AM EDT | Posted by Lynn Mariah Carey's "Bye Bye" - Her 19th #1?
Nothing is ever a sure bet to be a #1 hit, but it seems like Mariah Carey's new single "Bye Bye," the second from upcoming album E=MC², is about as close as it gets. Co-produced by Stargate and co-written by Johnta Austin, one of the writers behind the mega-smash "We Belong Together," the song has a universal lyrical appeal and the instant feel of a Mariah Carey classic.
Mariah states the topic of the song upfront singing "This is for my peoples who just lost somebody." Loosely based around Mariah Carey's loss of her own father, "Bye Bye" has a universal appeal that may even bring some listeners to tears. Mariah is expected to perform the song Monday, April 14th on Oprah and again Wednesday, April 16th on American Idol.
