If breakups come with a price, Aja Volkman's is $5.
Alt-rock band Nico Vega recently returned with a fiery new single "$5" about feeling frustrated in a relationship and wanting out — even if it costs you. PEOPLE has the exclusive premiere of the song's music video, out Thursday.
The single's angsty lyrics find Volkman, 44, fed up with a complicated romance that's nearing its end — and its video arrives just days after her divorce from ex-husband, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, was finalized.

Nico Vega"I’m like a wild animal every time I talk to you, and I can barely stand myself no matter what I do," she sings on the first verse. "I’m ready for a page turn, I want to wipe the slate clean, I’ll pay you just a little if you will set me free."
On the track's chorus, Volkman continues, "It’s such an empty feeling to think that I’m the reason that you are always leaving me in a broken home."
"I’ll pay you $5. You think that’s what I’m worth," she adds on the refrain. "I’ll pay you $5 just to let me go."
