"Ugly Heart" is the second single by American-British-Canadian girl group G.R.L. from their self-titled EP.

The song was released on June 3, 2014 as the lead single from the EP. "Ugly Heart" is a guitar-driven pop song that also uses a ukulele to give it a country vibe.
The track centers on a guy who initially appears beautiful on the outside, but later displays his ugly side.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. It depicts the girls being arrested by the police, after they tattoo the word "ugly" on a man's face. It was watched 2.5 million times in less than a week following its release.
"Ugly Heart" was the last single to be released by the group before band member Simone Battle's death on September 5, 2014.

Coming for that hit base thread J-Esper, I see you 
Anyway can't wait to hear new music by them. They did good harmonies on that red carpet, I was amazed.
Here mostly for Lauren and Simone tbh.

If Robin created a PCD-like group and just changed the name, i'll drag them.
Hopefully she had a new vision for these girls and created something original

For all i know they will be a shared vocal group and Paula will also rap.

GRL
This is the new girlgroup that was supposed to be the new lineup for PCD.
But due to a possible reunion Robin Antin changed their name.
Their first single 'Vacation' will be on the SMURFS 2 soundtrack.
I'm designing a better OP for this. It will be updated very soon.

The song's not that bad. I'm only interested in them because of Paula Van Oppen.

That is because they are a different group, not PCD.
and it is a soundtrack song for a children's movie, I doubt it is a real representation of their whole album!
