It entered the top twenty in the UK and became Minogue's ninth consecutive Upfront Club Chart number one.

"Perfection" began as an instrumental track by the Soul Seekerz that samples "Turn The Beat Around (Love to Hear Percussions)", which was originally performed by disco singer Vicki Sue Robinson.

Two days later, Napolitano had completed close to seventy percent of the song, much to the surprise of Langford, who had been preoccupied with paper work.

Minogue, Rob Davis and Therese Grankvist then wrote lyrics to accompany the music composed by the Soul Seekerz.
