The artwork for the album was created by British artist Damien Hirst.

Themes of the album include ruminations on the celebrities that songwriters Antony Genn and Martin Slattery have known in their previous careers as musicians, such as on the title track; love songs such as "Love You More"; uplifting exhortations to achieve, such as in "Ali in the Jungle"; and references and metaphors related to football.
