Juno nominated, multi-platinum artist Virginia to Vegas (AKA Derik Baker) returns with the release of his infectious new single "break up with that guy." via Wax Records. The instantly addictive track features his trademark synth-pop charm, interweaving keys and a punchy riff as he pleads "why, tell me why, don't you break up with that guy."

"It was a late night out on Broadway in Nashville when Jeffrey Jordan from Band Camino called me to ask if I could meet him and Seth Ennis in the studio at 9 am for a write," Derik shares on the spontaneous nature of how the track came together.

"They’re legit one of my favourite bands and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so I rushed back to my hotel to get a couple hours of sleep. Turns out, being tired and tipsy was the right mix for us to bang out a fun song that doesn't take itself too seriously. We originally wrote "break up with that guy." for Band Camino, but over the next couple weeks, something about this track resonated with me and I fell in love with the song. I’m so glad they were cool with me taking it on and making it my own! "
