DVP (song)

"DVP" is a song by the Canadian R&B duo dvsn (pronounced "division"). Released in 2016 as part of their debut album Sept 5th, "DVP" stands for "Domestic Violence Program." The song's lyrics explore themes of infidelity, guilt, and the complex aftermath of a relationship marred by mistakes. The controversial title directly contrasts with the smooth, sensual sound of the track, creating a deliberate tension and forcing listeners to consider the darker undertones of the narrative. While the title may be misleading upon first glance, the song's content delves into the emotional violence often present in toxic relationships, rather than explicitly advocating for or depicting physical violence. The song is known for its use of layered vocals, minimalist production, and its frank and sometimes unsettling portrayal of relationship dynamics.
