After releasing the F.I.L.T.H. mixtape and its title track single in October via Hopeless Records, PVRIS is back with the official music video for “F.I.L.T.H.” featuring Sizzy Rocket and Uffie.

Lead vocalist Kelsy Karter notes, “Everybody talks about the love of a partner, a friend, or even oneself, but nobody ever talks about the power of love from a stranger.
