Change is on the horizon as new research from Sky Mobile, voted Uswitch Best Pay Monthly and Best Value Pay Monthly network, has revealed that 1 in 4 couples are set to switch things up by ditching their relationships this summer.
The research comes as Sky Mobile has partnered with British rapper Lady Leshurr to drop the break-up track, ‘Time to 65075’, to motivate the nation to get out of a bad relationship this summer, whether that be a partner or their current mobile provider and move on to something better. To accompany the track, a parody video was created which sees Lady Leshurr paying ode to iconic music videos from the past three decades from Nelly & Kelly’s ‘Dilemma’ to Missy Elliot’s ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’.
The supporting parody video sees Lady Leshurr star in scenes from iconic music videos with relationship issues at the heart. The video opens with Leshurr gazing out the window in a scene from Nelly and Kelly’s, ‘Dilemma’, throwing Drake’s impressive shapes from ‘Hotline Bling’, making the memorable ‘Single Ladies’ dance her own and even rocking Missy Elliot’s famous balloon suit from ‘The Rain.’

However, the majority (78%) of respondents aged 18-24 claim they can no longer listen to a song because it reminds them too much of their ex.

To raise awareness of the Text To Switch service, that allows you to switch mobile phone provider, and help make the digits 65075 synonymous with dumping your current provider by the a click of a text, Lady Leshurr has helped create the ultimate break-up rap track.
On the new rap anthem, Lady Leshurr comments, “We’re all in the mood for a City Boyz and Hot Girl Summer, so what better time to ditch your bad relationships. I’m here with Sky Mobile to remind you to dump your network and your ex over text, it’s time to 65075!’”
