An electropop, trip hop and arena rock song which has been stylistically compared to songs by Nine Inch Nails, it was produced by Gaga, Cirkut, and Andrew Watt, and was composed by the latter two alongside Gesaffelstein. Lyrically, it explores Gaga's relationship with fame, addressing the tension between her public image and private self. "Perfect Celebrity" was first previewed on February 24, 2025, and was released on the album on March 7.
The track received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound and deemed it as a standout on the album despite its "tired" subject matter. Commercially, "Perfect Celebrity" charted in some countries, along with the released of its parent album, such as Brazil, Canada, France and the United States, as well as on the ''Billboard'' Global 200. Gaga performed the song live during a series of promotional concerts in 2025 in support of ''Mayhem'', as well as on the Mayhem Ball concert tour (2025–2026). During these shows, she emerged from a grave in a corseted white dress, surrounded by dancers wearing skull masks. She also performed stripped-down renditions of the track on ''The Howard Stern Show'' and at her one-off ''Mayhem Requiem'' concert.

Critics also linked "Perfect Celebrity" to Gaga's earlier treatments of fame. Alexis Petridis of ''The Guardian'' noted that the lyric "Sit in the front row, watch the princess die" functions both as a pun and as a reference to Gaga's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards performance of "Paparazzi", which she described at the time as a "performance art piece enacting the death of celebrity".<ref name="theguardianreview">{{cite news |last=Petridis |first=Alexis |author-link=Alexis Petridis |date=March 6, 2025 |title=Lady Gaga: ''Mayhem'' Review – a Fabulous Return to Her Freaky First Principles |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/mar/06/lady-gaga-mayhem-review-abracadabra/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250306230612/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/mar/06/lady-gaga-mayhem-review-abracadabra/ |archive-date=March 6, 2025 |access-date=March 7, 2025 |newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref> ''Business Insider''{{'s}} Callie Ahlgrim similarly viewed "Perfect Celebrity" as a continuation of Gaga's satirical treatment of fame, highlighting lyrics that mock expectations of perfection and public image, and noting parallels to her "Paparazzi" performance at the VMAs, though describing the song as more confrontational in tone, with lines such as "Rip off my face in this photograph" read as a rejection of her own constructed persona.<ref name="Ahlgrim"/> Dylan Kickham of ''Nylon'' identified several allusions to Gaga's other songs in the lyrics, including the ''Chromatica'' track "Plastic Doll" and the unreleased "Princess Die".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kickham |first=Dylan |date=March 7, 2025 |title=Lady Gaga's "Perfect Celebrity" Lyrics, Explained |url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/lady-gaga-perfect-celebrity-lyrics-meaning |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250307091758/https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/lady-gaga-perfect-celebrity-lyrics-meaning |archive-date=March 7, 2025 |access-date=March 8, 2025 |website=Nylon}}</ref> CJ Thorpe-Tracey of ''The Quietus'' framed the song as exploring the conflict between a mythologized celebrity persona and the person behind it, likening fame to a form of "Faustian bargain", and noted that such themes had already been a central focus of Gaga's work, particularly on ''Born This Way'' (2011).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thorpe-Tracey |first=CJ |date=March 7, 2025 |title=Lady Gaga - Mayhem |url=https://thequietus.com/quietus-reviews/lady-gaga-mayhem-review/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250309025720/https://thequietus.com/quietus-reviews/lady-gaga-mayhem-review/ |archive-date=March 9, 2025 |access-date=March 9, 2025 |website=The Quietus}}</ref>
