"Good-Bye Bad Times" is a song by British singer and songwriter Philip Oakey and Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. Released as a single in the UK in June 1985 as the follow-up to Oakey and Moroder's 1984 hit "Together in Electric Dreams", it reached number 44 on the singles charts and remained on the charts for 5 weeks.[2] It was moderately successful in Australia, where it peaked at number 26.[3]

Virgin Records had high expectations for the single but it failed to sell in the quantities forecast.[citation needed] After a final single, "Be My Lover Now", the short partnership between Oakey and Moroder effectively ended. Oakey then returned to work with his band the Human League full-time.
