"Perfect" is a single by German DJ Topic and American singer Ally Brooke, released on 26 January 2018 via Ultra Records.[1][2] The song is Brooke's first solo single as lead artist, following an appearance as a featured artist on Lost Kings' 2017 single "Look at Us Now" alongside A$AP Ferg. A music video for the song accompanied the single's release, on 26 January 2018, and has been viewed over 2.5 million times.[3]

Background and release

Brooke announced the release of the song on 22 January 2018 via social media, writing to Twitter: "I am ecstatic to share with my friends that Topic and I have a song coming out Friday. This one is very special to me."[4]

Music video

The song's music video was released to YouTube on 26 January 2018, the same day as the single's release. The video features Topic and Brooke performing together by a piano (a shot from this scene is included as the single's cover art) and Brooke exploring a large house, interacting specifically with windows and mirrors. At the end of the video, a second Brooke emerges from a mirror and embraces the first.[5]

Critical reception

The single received mostly positive reviews from critics. Nicholas Rice, writing for Billboard, called the song a "radio-friendly pop tune" and "another jam" from Brooke.[6] Meanwhile, Erica Russell of PopCrush wrote that the song is an "empowering track" and a "bright mid-tempo pop anthem".[7]
