"Perfect (Exceeder)" is a collaboration between Dutch musician Mason and American rapper Princess Superstar. The track is a mashup of Mason's 2006 instrumental dance track "Exceeder" and Princess Superstar's 2005 single "Perfect". It was included on the soundtrack for the 2023 film Saltburn, causing a resurgence of popularity in early 2024.[1]
Critical reception
At the 23rd Annual International Dance Music Awards, "Perfect (Exceeder)" was nominated in the category "Best Breaks/Electro Track", but lost to "Love Is Gone" by David Guetta.[2]
Chart performance
The track became a big hit in the club scene in late 2006, especially across Europe and Brazil. The track was officially released via Data Records on 22 January 2007 in the UK. The track entered the chart at number 11 one week before the physical release, based on downloads. Upon the week of its physical release, the track moved up eight spots to number three. In the Netherlands, the song entered the Dutch Top 40 at number 54 (eventually peaking at number 11) and was the DanceSmash of the week. In 2024, following the song's appearance on the soundtrack to the 2023 film Saltburn, the song reappeared on the UK Singles Chart, climbing to number 26 on the chart dated 12 January 2024.[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by Marcus Adams. It stars Lauren Ridealgh, Casey Batchelor and Lisa Shepley as gymnasts who mime to the lyrics performed by Princess Superstar. Valentina Bodorova appears as a genuine rhythmic gymnast acting as body double.[4]
