Cover art

[edit]

The cover depicts miniature versions of Lauv standing and sitting on him wearing colorful outfits. According to Lauv, these characters are "represented by purple (existential Lauv), blue (hopeless romantic Lauv), green (goofy Lauv), yellow (positive Lauv), orange (fuckboy Lauv) and red (spicy Lauv), all of which make up [his] identity."[4] The music video for "Sims" would "bring the album concept and characters to life for the first time",[4] and allowed viewers to get a glimpse inside Lauv's mind and learn about the concept behind the album.
