"Perfect" (stylized as "Perfect feat. JIMMY, WEESA") is a digital single by the seven-member Japanese dance and vocal group Psychic Fever from Exile Tribe. It was released on June 28, 2024, by LDH Records.[1]
The track marks the first unit song performed by group members Jimmy and Weesa. The lyrics, which include both Japanese and English passages, were written by Elione, Nvmbrr, Jimmy, and Weesa, while the composition was handled by ineedmorebux.[2]
Background
Jimmy and Weesa had established a creative partnership even before their official debut, often writing songs together. Encouraged by their staff, the two decided to release their first collaborative track.[3][4]: Part 3
The song features a bouncy Jersey club beat fused with R&B elements, creating a sound characterized by emotional storytelling through alternating rap and vocal sections.[5] For the instrumental, the duo selected one of several beats provided by producer ineedmorebux, who had previously worked on group tracks such as Temperature. They chose the beat they felt "fit them best."[4]: Part 2
Explaining the decision to adopt the Jersey club style, Jimmy commented, “Even with our lower vocal ranges, it’s easier to express ourselves rhythmically in this style.”[4]: Part 1
Lyrically, "Perfect" is a breakup ballad depicting bittersweet emotions when recalling a former lover.[6] The words were co-written in a collaborative session with Elione and Nvmbrr, where all participants shared ideas and opinions.[3]
The title "Perfect" plays on the Japanese word "parfait" and the English word "perfect," conveying the idea of a "perfect dessert" — describing the loved one as someone truly wonderful and flawless.[7] Weesa revealed that he consciously wrote the lyrics with international listeners in mind, noting that the song was crafted to appeal globally.[6]
Music video
The music video was released on the same day as the single, June 28, 2024. It was directed by Masaki Watanabe of maxilla.[1] The video visually represents the emotional depth of the track through various settings, artistically portraying the "hole left in one’s heart" after heartbreak.[5]
