Solar WindPerfume
Perfume’s “Solar Wind” is a track released in 2025, included on the album “Nebula Romance: Part II.” The sound is digitally driven in a way that feels quintessentially Perfume, and its near-futuristic vibe conveys a sense of moving forward.
As the title suggests, the lyrics evoke outer space, and the imagery of heading into the distance also expresses a positive, forward-looking attitude.

If you’re in love right now, you might find yourself relating to it endlessly.
