"Computer City" (コンピューターシティ Konpyūtā Shiti) is Perfume's second major-label single, released on January 11, 2006 through Tokuma Japan Communication. This was the first single of Perfume in which Yasutaka Nakata, apart from composing and producing the song, also wrote the lyrics for it.

The b-side of the single, "Perfume", is considered to be the band's theme song, and it is widely performed at the ending part of their concerts. It is also the last song in which lyricist Kinoko worked with the group. The lyrics of the song are also the origin of the name of Perfume's 2006-2007 TV program Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Perfume (パッパッパッパッパッパッPerfume).

In 2010, four years after its original release, the group was invited to perform "Computer City" on music TV program Music Station. This marked the song as the only single previous to the release and subsequent breakthrough of "Polyrhythm" that has been performed on Japanese television.[1]
