The Veronicas' "Perfect" is a love letter to their younger and current selves

Australia’s alt-pop royalty, The Veronicas, have burst back onto the scene with their latest single, “Perfect,” giving fans a taste of what’s to come from their upcoming album, ‘GOTHIC SUMMER,’ set to drop in early 2024.

“Perfect” is a pop/rock anthem that hits with the force of a 90s nostalgia wave. Infused with distorted guitars, shimmering melodies, and the signature Veronicas’ passion, the single is a spirited anthem that digs into society’s obsession with comparison and perception. The duo, known for their knack for catchy hooks and empowering lyrics, delivers another hit that urges listeners towards greater self-love and embracing their unique designs.

Crafted in collaboration with industry heavyweights, John Feldmann and Ryan Linville, “Perfect” is a sonic explosion of pop-punk nostalgia. Blink-182’s Travis Barker, in an unexpected and exciting turn, jumps on the drums for the track, adding his unmistakable flair to the mix. The result is a dynamic blend of alt-pop and punk influences that showcases The Veronicas at their best.

Drawing inspiration from a quote about self-doubt in society, The Veronicas share their perspective on “Perfect.”, “Perfect is a love letter to our younger and current selves. Perfection has a different meaning for everyone,” The Veronicas say about the inspiration of the song. “Social media has changed how we interact with the world. Perception versus reality is rewarded and condemned. From what people wear, to who they date. It’s like a magnifying glass. We just want to remind everyone to empower themselves and free their minds. We all die in the end; we have to live with and love ourselves fiercely first and foremost. On our deathbeds, the only opinion that will matter on how you’ve lived will be your own.”

After a brief hiatus from the global spotlight, The Veronicas are back, reclaiming their throne as trailblazers of the alt-pop renaissance. In a musical landscape featuring rising stars like Olivia Rodrigo and queer anthem creators like Charli XCX, Jessie and Lisa of The Veronicas reflect on their journey. They express gratitude for their early success and extensive world tours, emphasizing the importance of taking a break to live life fully. Now, they’re ready to reconnect with fans who have grown up with their music.

“Perfect” not only marks a return for The Veronicas but reaffirms their status as pioneers in the evolving alt-pop scene. Stay tuned for more tour announcements and exciting new music as The Veronicas gear up for GOTHIC SUMMER in 2024.
