Artwork

The cover features Antonoff wearing a white prince outfit with his hand placed over his heart in a Polaroid style frame. According to Antonoff, the photo of himself on the cover is a view of what he might look like if he were dead. In a series of videos breaking down the album, he stated:

That's why on the cover -- everyone's like, "what are you, a dictator?" And I'm like no, man, I'm dead. I'm supposed to be dead. I thought if I was dead, what would I look like? I'd be black and white, and I'd be regal, and dressed up. That's the picture you'd have on a mantel if I wasn't here anymore.

The outfit was also used on the tour for Gone Now.
