Colbie Caillat is moving on.
The 35-year-old singer announced on Wednesday that she and her Gone West bandmate Justin Young have chosen to dissolve the country music group.
"After a lot of thought during this time, Justin and I have decided to leave Gone West," the "Bubbly" singer shared on Instagram. "Creative partnerships, especially with friends, are both rewarding and challenging at times, and though this was not an easy decision, we know ending the band was the right one."
Gone West was also made up of Jason Reeves and Nelly Joy, who are married.
Caillat and Young, 41, dated for 10 years and became engaged in 2015. They announced the end of their relationship earlier this year.
In her message regarding the band, Caillat stressed that she and Justin "will continue to make music together forever" and remain "best friends."
