As well as serving as their debut single, "Bye Bye Babylon" is the fifth and final song by Cryoshell used by Lego for the marketing campaign of their Bionicle toy series, this time for their Glatorian and Glatorian Legends sets of 2009, as well as the animated film Bionicle: The Legend Reborn (2009).
The song has received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its Egypt-esque melody and upbeat style as a departure from other Cryoshell songs.
