In fact, the cover has already amassed over 2.3 billion views across the social media platform.

The accompanying video was produced and directed by Muted Widows (Michael R. Zumaya, Nedda Afsari and Michael E Linn), featuring the Drag Race alum among leather-clad men performing chores around the house.

“Muted Widows were able to capture the song’s vibe perfectly by casting a contemporary megastar like Violet and placing her against an unnerving mid-century backdrop, which parallels the dark yet dreamy and alluring nature of the song,” says Mareux.

“‘The goal with ‘The Perfect Girl,’ and really all my music, was to produce something timeless. Between the romantic lyrics of Robert Smith, the catchy melody, and the danceable tempo, I think I’ve made something that will hopefully resonate for decades to come.”
