"Kbye" (stylized in all lowercase) is the debut single by the Filipino boy band Alamat. Released on February 15, 2021, by Viva Records, it blends hip-hop, R&B, and pop, and also incorporates traditional Philippine instruments such as the kulintang, along with audio samples of bamboo poles striking the floor in a tinikling performance. Written by Alamat during a jam session and produced by Civ Fontanilla, the song's lyrics portray the perspective of someone who has been ghosted by their significant other. The group's creative director, Jason Paul Laxamana, is also credited as a songwriter. "Kbye" and its music video received mostly favorable reviews from music critics. Hans Carbonilla of the Philippine Daily Inquirer described the song as "groundbreaking". Three weeks after its release, "Kbye" entered Billboard 's Next Big Sound chart, peaking at number two. Various publications reported that this made Alamat the fastest Filipino act to enter the global chart.
