On her social media, twigs revealed the single's cover art, writing, "and so the offerings begin again... if Eusexua was the tip of the tongue, 'Perfectly' is the oesophagus".

Composition

"Perfectly" is described as an "high-tempo dance-pop track" [8] that highlights twigs' experimental approach to production, [9] with darkened dance-pop elements with a lighter and romantic tone. [10] As also noted as a clubby, [11] uptempo pop track with a vocal delivery reminiscent of PinkPantheress, [6] Uproxx observed its "club-ready" quality, quoting lyrics from the opening verse — "Another day, leave it all to another day / Leave it all to another day, another me / And when I'm done, they'll say I did it perfectly". [12] Rolling Stone described the song as a "hopeful track" driven by a propulsive beat, underlining twigs' ability to merge lyrical intimacy with energetic, experimental pop textures. [13]

Music video

The music video for "Perfectly," directed by Jordan Hemingway, was released alongside the song's release. [13] Featuring twigs and her Eusexua community dancing freely in a white studio, [1] it celebrates the community as well as the album's core themes of physicality, vulnerability, and freedom. [14] Rolling Stone characterized the clip as "dynamic", depicting twigs dancing in unison with a group of performers, visually amplifying the track's celebratory energy. [13]
