The Veronicas return with the announcement of their sixth studio album, GOTHIC SUMMER

The single was created with John Feldmann (Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, YungBlud), and co-produced by Ryan Linville (Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Charlotte Cardin). Travis Barker from Blink-182 also happened to be in the neighbourhood and hopped on the drums.

Drawing inspiration from one of their favourite quotes – "In a society that profits from your self-doubt, loving yourself is a rebellious act" – The Veronicas share their thoughts on the song: “"Perfect" is a love letter to our younger and current selves. Perfection has a different meaning for everyone. 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 break from the global spotlight, The Veronicas are back, ready to be trailblazers for the Alt-pop renaissance we’re seeing today, next to artists such Olivia Rodrigo, and queer anthem artists like Charli XCX. Jessie and Lisa reflect on their journey, saying, "We were fortunate to experience success early in our careers, touring extensively around the world for 12 years. Taking a break to live life was a necessary step for us. We can't wait to reconnect with the people who loved our music as we were all growing up together."

For this next chapter, The Veronicas have aligned with LA-based record label Big Noise, home to The Used, MOD SUN, Goldfinger and more. The Veronicas are the first female group signed to the label. Speaking of the signing, president Jon Cohan shared, “We couldn’t be more excited to begin this new era of The Veronicas with "Perfect". The song is absolutely incredible and will certainly set the tone for the months to come and, of course, for the new album.”
