Perfectionist — A Song for Anyone Who’s Never Felt Good Enough

What if getting a 95 still feels like failure because all you can see is the 5 points you missed? What if everyone tells you it’s great, but your mind immediately finds something that could have been better? “Perfectionist” is a song for anyone who keeps chasing an impossible standard — rewriting the caption, retaking the photo, questioning every decision, and judging themselves before they even begin. It’s about the exhausting side of perfectionism: when “good” never feels good enough, when every achievement comes with another criticism, and when the finish line keeps moving no matter how hard you try. Sometimes perfectionism looks like ambition. Sometimes it’s simply the fear that if you make one mistake, you won't be enough. But maybe done is better than perfect. Maybe finished doesn't mean flawless. Maybe you don't have to earn your worth one perfect attempt at a time. “Perfectionist” is for anyone learning to stop being their own harshest critic and finally give themselves permission to say: Good enough. Good enough. I'm allowed to just be good enough. 🎧 PERFECTIONIST — AIHARA WUDAQ Genre: Indie Alternative Rock / Emotional Indie Rock / Female Indie Rock FULL LYRICS: [Verse 1] Got a ninety-five, all I saw was the five points gone, not the rest at all deleted the caption, wrote it again still hit delete before I hit send [Pre-Chorus] Good isn't good enough unless it's perfect chasing a version of right I'll never get [Chorus] I'm a perfectionist chasing a finish line that never stops moving I'm a perfectionist never enough, no matter what I'm doing I'm a perfectionist tired of grading myself before I even start [Verse 2] Retook the photo twenty times still found something wrong before I let it go they said it's great, all I heard was "not quite" been my own harshest critic this whole time [Pre-Chorus] Good isn't good enough unless it's perfect chasing a version of right I'll never get [Chorus] I'm a perfectionist chasing a finish line that never stops moving I'm a perfectionist never enough, no matter what I'm doing I'm a perfectionist tired of grading myself before I even start [Bridge] Maybe done is better than perfect maybe good enough was always enough I don't have to earn my worth one perfect try at a time [Final Chorus] I'm a perfectionist learning that finished doesn't mean flawless I'm a perfectionist learning to let some things be enough I'm a perfectionist still trying, but I'm trying to let go too [Outro] Good enough good enough I'm allowed to just be good enough If you've ever felt like nothing you do is quite enough, this song is for you. For the person who sees the five missing points instead of the ninety-five they earned. For the person who takes the same photo twenty times. For the person who keeps rewriting, correcting and second-guessing everything. For the person who is tired of being their own harshest critic. You don't have to be flawless to be worthy. You don't have to achieve perfection before you're allowed to feel proud of yourself. Maybe “good enough” was never a failure. Maybe it was freedom. 💬 What is one thing you're learning to let be “good enough”?
