"Perfect" was released in April 2008 as the second single from Amorosi's third studio album, Somewhere in the Real World.

Amorosi co-wrote "Perfect" with Australian songwriter David Franj and they each brought a different perspective to the theme of love, resulting in a powerful tune.

"[6][7] "Perfect" was the most played song by an Australian artist on the 2008 National Airplay Chart (The Music Network – 22 December 2008).

Before release as a single, "Perfect" was featured in promotions by the Seven Network for the American show Bionic Woman.

It features a glamorous Amorosi walking through a desert setting while peeling back the layers of her get-up.
