The song is a pop/R&B song, written by Michico, T. Kura, the writers of Iconiq's debut single "[[I'm Lovin' You]]." The lyrics of the song describe an everyday scene, in which the subject of the song is dissatisfied with her life. She "purposely spills her coffee everywhere" and thinks that "every single day is like a ceremony." She decides to work against this daily pressure, by saying goodbye to this "dangerous pressure" and "complex that everyone, even her boyfriend has" by being true to herself.<ref>{{cite web | title=BYE NOW! - ICONIQ | url=http://music.goo.ne.jp/lyric/LYRUTND90347/index.html |language=Japanese | work=Goo Music | accessdate=September 15, 2010}}</ref>

The lyrics of the song describe an everyday scene, in which the subject of the song is dissatisfied with her life.

She decides to work against this daily pressure, by saying goodbye to this "dangerous pressure" and "complex that everyone, even her boyfriend has" by being true to herself.[2]
