Each member's agent wanted their respective artist to appear first on the cover. In order to please the four of them, artist Aldo Luiz used a picture by Orlando Abrunhosa. In the photograph, all members are lying down on the ground and forming an "x", but only their heads are shown. The agents were then convinced that each member could be considered the first depending on the viewer's perspective.[5]
