Guns N’ Roses performed “Perhaps” live for the first time at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during a concert on August 18. “Forgive me if I don’t run around and try to project as much because I’m gonna try to figure out how to fucking sing it live,” Axl Rose told the audience before the band played the song. “I like to think of when we wrote this song it was like the immaculate inception.”

Guns N’ Roses officially dropped “Perhaps” on August 17. The song’s release was accompanied by a music video featuring images of the band performing live. The lyrics for “Perhaps” partly read,
Perhaps I was wrong/ When I didn’t see you, hey, hey/ Perhaps I was wrong, hey/ When I don’t believe you/ But how would I know how it feels/ Or what it takes to be you/ I’ve been so upset Harboring this hate for days.
