Ciao Adios is a pop song by British singer Anne-Marie, released as a single in 2017 and later included on her debut album Speak Your Mind. The title mixes the Italian word ciao and the Spanish word adios, both used as informal ways to say goodbye. Its chorus became easy to lift for short clips because the farewell is repeated and clearly sung. Online, creators reuse that hook for exits, breakups and comic goodbyes, where a brief sung sign off says more than a spoken explanation could alone.
About this sound
Clip of Anne-Marie singing Ciao Adios, the catchy goodbye chorus used in edits, farewell posts and meme videos when someone leaves or is done.
The sound is the sung phrase ciao adios delivered over a clean pop backing, with the farewell repeated in a light, dismissive tone that feels final but playful. The melody is short, bouncy and instantly recognisable, and the contrast between the cheerful delivery and the goodbye message gives it its bite. Listeners hear it as a confident exit rather than a sad farewell, which makes the moment land as funny and a little smug. It works because the words are simple, the rhythm sticks, and the attitude is clear in seconds.
