"A Perfect Match" was A-Teens' second single from their third album New Arrival. The track was written by Mack, Habolin and Jasson and became one of the band's biggest hits in Sweden and Latin-America. The song reached number-two in Sweden and Mexico, it also reached number-five in Argentina despite the album New Arrival was never released there and also hit number-eleven in Chile and number-seventy on the Official Euro chart. Because of the delays in Germany both the single and album flopped in the country, reaching a disappointing number seventy-seven on the Singles Chart.
Music video
The video was filmed in Cuba, and was co-directed by the A-Teens themselves. It tells a story of a rich girl and a poor boy who fall in love with each other, but their families are against their relationship; however, despite this, and their differences, they are still "a perfect match". It was a hit in both Sweden and Mexico and despite the album was never released in Argentina, the video reached number-one on MTV's "Los 10 + Pedidos". The video was out of the request charts 2003 as the 34th most played video of MTV Mexico, and the 45th on MTV South America[citation needed]. It has 690,000 views on YouTube as of 28, November 2009.
