The main image is an upper body shot of the artist, who appears shirtless. He has a surprised, tired or annoyed look. In the background is a garden or beach-side scene with large plants, rocks and a body of water just visible over his right shoulder. The artist's name is written at top right in all capitals and bright purple script. Below in small script but same colour are the Roman numerals IV. In a cartoon-like speech bubble, near his open mouth, is the album's title in the same style script.
