Mod Sunappears to be opening up about the end of his engagement toAvril Lavigne.
The singer, 36, released a quick snippet of a new song titled “Strangers”via Instagram on Wednesday— just one day after PEOPLE confirmed thatLavigne, 38, and Tyga splitafter three-and-a-half months of dating.
“Then I started talking to you on the internet / Went from strangers to lovers to strangers again.”
Mod Sun captioned the post: “From strangers to lovers to strangers again… 20k pre saves + I’ll release it."
The location of the music video also has a connection to the former couple’s relationship. In the clip shared on Instagram, Mod Sun walked down a street in Paris — the city where he and Lavignegot engaged inApril 2022.
“It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment,” Lavigne exclusively told PEOPLE the same month.
The pair then called off their 10-month engagement in February this year. “Avril and Mod Sun have been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.

Paris also had special meaning for Lavigne and Tyga, 33. The pair stepped out together in the city early on in their relationship, shortly after her engagement to Mod Sun ended.
“[They’re] very into each other,” a source told PEOPLE in March. “They’re still not exclusive and just getting to know each other. They’re taking things very slowly to be on the safe side and really get to know each other before diving into something serious. But they are spending a lot of time together.”
On Tuesday, news broke that the “Bite Me” singer and the “Rack City” rapper split. TMZ wasfirst to reportthe news. A source told PEOPLE this week thatLavigne will be keeping the custom-made $80,000Mavani & Co. Jewelry necklace Tyga gifted her earlier this year.
