On first glance Skepta is stood in a in a stance and a pose which represents that he is in a high position looking down on people. This is backed up by the golden background behind him which glows around him and then has a black fade as the colours reach the edges of the CD cover and the crown under the name of the song. The clothing also could symbolize that he is a hero as the jacket looks like armour and this could cross represent with the song as him being the hero saving someone. Lyrically the name of the song goes with the CD cover, during the song Skepta says a line that goes "Listen to me when I'm talking, the same guy you're looking at right now is the same guy I was this morning. Even when I top the chart I'll be the same guy that I was from the start, hope to die and Cross my heart". This verse goes with the song and is the overall theme of the song.
