Jonathan and Ivory are ending their 5-year relationship. Very, very publicly. In fact, they are ending it with an original song posted on YouTube.

The video was posted by YouTube user Jonathan Mann, who is no stranger to posting music on YouTube. Here’s what he had to say about the track:

“Yes, it’s true folks. Ivory and I are splitting up. It’s really sad. I’m really sad. I think you may have been able to tell in some recent songs. It’s going to be a hard road ahead for me, but I know that this is the right decision and that eventually we’ll both be happier in the end. I just want to say, thanks for being out there, watching my stuff and commenting and sending me messages. Your support and love during this time of crisis in my life means so, so much.”

If you’re going to break up and you have a lot of friends that you think deserve to know, there’s probably no better way to do it than with a catchy little song.
