The record breaking duo confirmed the release date of ‘Guilty’ yesterday (Tuesday,March 6th) via their social media profiles in a fun clip filmed on the set of the official music video in Los Angeles. The teaser video shows the cheeky pair going around putting Guilty signs on the back of the unsuspecting film crew.
