If you thought you'd watched JP Saxe and Julia Michaels' smash hit "If the World was Ending" enough times to have sorted out all your feelings, then there's a surprise waiting for you with the musicians' Juno Awards performance.

Released in 2019, "If the World was Ending" picked up steam almost a year after it came out when the world experienced the end of what we knew as normal during the pandemic, and there's no comparing any version of the song to it being performed live by its creators.

Watch the songwriting duo and real-life couple perform the song, with a prelude composed of Saxe's most recent single "Like That," below.
