"Perfect" is the debut single by the English folk and soft rock band Fairground Attraction, written by Mark E. Nevin.
A version of the song with a different vocalist was used in television advertising for the British supermarket chain Asda in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It was re-released as a single in 1993 after it had reappeared on the compilation album Celtic Heart but this time included "Captured" by Brian Kennedy in the tracklisting.
Eddi Reader's confident, strident vocal sounds like a mish-mash of country and high glitz, but a strong backbeat pulls the record into the safety zone of rock.
American country music group Baillie & the Boys released their version in April 1990 as the first single from their third studio album The Lights of Home.
