Alex Turner, lead singer of the band Arctic Monkeys, said that the song "Aos barões" of the album by Lô Borges served as inspiration for the production of the album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

Photographer Cafi, who took the picture in front of his house, took the material to the label, which disliked it, having shown a similar reaction to the Clube da Esquina cover due to its depiction of two anonymous children.

According to Borges, the sneakers symbolize his intention to hit the road after the album's release.
