When I was coming up with the concept for the album cover, the black eye was a really important part of it because I think a black eye is a universally recognized sign of pain, or trauma or abuse, I feel like everyone recognizes the black eye in that way. And the album is a lot about me outgrowing some traumas and some things that have been otherwise holding me back from feeling like I could really become myself in my early 20s. And being 25 and putting out an album was hard for me because I had a new perspective about my femininity, about my sexuality, about the things that I’ve been through. And as a result of that, what I felt like I earned, earned the right to say, earned the right to stand up for as a woman, had the space to say all of this on the album. So I did the black eye and I wanted to do it in glitter, kind of to take it something... Almost like a badge.
