At first, SimplePlan.cz brought you the news that ‘Perfectly Perfect’ may be Simple Plan’s new single, when the Thai radio station Eazy FM 105.5 started putting the song in their rotation two weeks ago. Just moments after that, that news became all the more believable when Warner Music Philippines released a lyric video for the song, making the fans very anxious that it may truly be the band’s new single.
However it wasn’t until now, that the members of Simple Plan finally opened up about ‘Perfectly Perfect’ being their 3rd single from Taking One For The Team (after ‘I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed’ and ‘Singing In The Rain’). When in Thailand, Chuck, Seb and Jeff did an interview with the radio MET 107, in which one of the questions was regarding their new single, that this radio station has also already picked up.
Check out the transcript of this part of the interview below:
Interviewer: “We play your single a lot. And right now, your latest single, ‘Perfectly Perfect’ is now on air as well. Can you say something about your latest single?”
Chuck: “Yeah, you know what? It just came out. And I think it’s actually the first place in the world – in Asia – where it’s an “official” single. It’s a song about.. you know, like when lots of times when you’re dating someone, you’ll hear them being super insecure about their bodies or who they are and everything. And it’s kind of a song that says sometimes what you think is imperfect on you or what you’re insecure about is actually this thing about the person that’s actually a super cool thing. So I think that’s kind of what the song’s about. It’s trying to tell people out there that it’s cool to embrace who you are and be proud of who you are. Because lots of times, the people that are really close to you, that’s what they love the most about you. It’s a cute kind of romantic song.
Jeff: “I thought the song was about me..? I’m really disappointed right now.”
