Perfect Timing is a collaborative mixtape between NAV and Metro Boomin, released on July 21, 2017. The production is mainly handled by Metro, with NAV also chipping in on half the songs, along with side help from other record producers. On December 24, 2016, Metro took to Twitter to reveal that he would be releasing a joint project with NAV sometime in 2017. On February 24, 2017, the day NAV released his self-titled debut mixtape and first project, he assured that he was working with Metro on Perfect Timing. The release date and cover art were revealed on July 12, 2017. Finally, the tracklist was shared on July 19, 2017. NAV and Metro first united on the former’s February 2017 track “Up,” from his eponymous mixtape, both producing and writing it together. Perfect Timing was supported by the dual lead singles “Perfect Timing (Intro)” and “Call Me,” which were both released together exactly one week before the mixtape was released, on July 14, 2017.
