"Fuckin' Perfect" (sometimes stylized "Perfect" on the clean version, and as F**kin' Perfect on the main cover) is a song by American singer Pink from her first greatest hits album Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (2010). Written by Pink along with its producers Max Martin and Shellback, the track is a rock pop power ballad that encourages people to accept each other for their true identities. Pink has stated that the main inspiration behind the track is her husband, Carey Hart.[1]

"Fuckin' Perfect" was released on December 14, 2010, by Jive Records as the album's second single. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Pink's eleventh top-10 single in the United States.[2][3] The song also peaked at number two in Canada, Hungary, New Zealand, and Poland. In 2011, "Fuckin' Perfect" was ranked at number 14 on the "Top 40 Year-End Chart", behind her previous single "Raise Your Glass", based on Mediabase.[4]

Its music video, directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers, delivers a message against depression, self-harm, and suicide. In November 2011, the song garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance but lost to Adele's "Someone like You" (2011).
