"Good-Bye Bad Times" was Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder's follow-up to their 1984 hit "Together in Electric Dreams", a June 1985 single from their joint album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. The Human League's singer and the Italian producer wrote it together, and it's gleaming synth-pop with a new wave pulse, the sound of two very different pop minds meeting in the middle.
Virgin expected big things and didn't get them. The single peaked at 44 in the UK and spent 5 weeks on the chart, did better in Australia with a peak of 26, and fell well short of the sales the label had forecast. One more single, "Be My Lover Now", and the partnership was effectively over, with Oakey heading back to the Human League full-time.
