What’s the perfect revenge? How about releasing a smash hit about your ex lover so they never forget you. That’s exactly the strategy 23-year-old Dylan used with her latest single “Perfect Revenge.”
Still riding on the high of an extensive sold-out global headline tour earlier this year – including a career defining, sold-out show at London’s Eventim Apollo and over 25,000 tickets sold for performances across the UK, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and North America – 2024 is quickly shaping up to be Dylan’s biggest year to date.
“This is the perfect revenge, you can’t have anyone else. It’s you and I til’ the end,” she sings on the track. Listen below:
Written in LA with regular collaborators Mati Schwartz and Vera Carlbom whilst on tour in the US with Ed Sheeran, “Perfect Revenge” sees Dylan play upon obsession, the wanting of something she can’t have, and how that can sometimes manifest into doing anything to get somebody’s attention.
“I understand that there is power in being the bigger person, and that ‘the best revenge is to have enough self-worth to not seek it’,” Dylan notes, “but sometimes that is not always the answer. My perfect revenge is releasing a song called ‘Perfect Revenge’. I am hoping the person the song is about will hear it everywhere they go, making me completely inescapable. You can run, but you can’t hide!”
The track joins her previous single released earlier this year “The Alibi”, which reintroduced Dylan as an artist set for the top tier of pop.
