    Morgan Wallen Reveals ‘I’m The Problem’ Album Cover Was Inspired By Courtroom Sketches – “I’ve Always Prided Myself In Taking Accountability”

    In what can only be described as the biggest album drop of the year, Morgan Wallen finally released his mammoth 37-track LP, I’m The Problem today. The record was two years in the making for the “Last Night” singer who has experienced nothing short of groundbreaking success both in country music and music as a whole. With an album this highly-anticipated, there were plenty of lingering questions around its release. From the provocative title to the album art itself, just the aesthetics of the record alone were ripe for discussion, and Wallen provided some insight on them today.

    In an interview with Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music’s Today’s Country Radio, Wallen dove deep into the album’s creation, his relationship with his son, Indigo, and key tracks such as “Superman,” “Genesis” and “Revelation.”

    Since the album’s official announcement on March 21st, many were quick to point out that the cover beared strong resemblance to a courtroom sketch. Though it remained unconfirmed throughout I’m The Problem’s two-month rollout, it’s fairly obvious that Wallen was heavily inspired by the aforementioned imagery.

    He revealed to Bannen that the cover was, in fact, inspired by classic court sketches due to his well-documented legal troubles throughout that stemmed from his 2024 arrest outside of Eric Church’s Nashville bar, Chiefs, which lead to him receiving two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment.

    Wallen stated that seeing a court drawing in his lawyer’s office before one of the court appearances inspired him to pursue the idea, “I was actually on my way to go to court one day and I was at my lawyer’s office and I saw old school court drawings in there, and at the same time, me and my team were talking about what’s this artwork going to be? I’m like, ‘Ah, I’m not really sure.’ And I saw those old school court drawings and something just clicked in my head. I was like, ‘That might be cool.’ So I started looking and trying to find other artists, see if anybody had done that before, and I figured somebody had had something like that in the past. I couldn’t find anything, so I said, ‘Maybe I’m onto something.'”

    He also noted that he didn’t want to use an actual image of his appearance in court due to it feeling “too real,” “I didn’t want to use my exact court image because it’s not, I wasn’t… I don’t know. I feel like [it was too real]. So I just wanted to just pay a little bit of homage to that and make people say, ‘Hey, is that what that is?’ And I feel like we toed the line of it pretty well, and I think it looks cool.”

    Looking at his real life court pictures side by side with I’m The Problem’s cover art, it becomes fairly obvious that it was directly inspired by this photo in particular:

    Another lingering question about the album was undoubtedly the name itself. It’s fair to say that many have written the Tennessee native off as a, well, problem. From his controversies to his arrests, there’s no doubt that he’s made plenty of mistakes outside the studio.

    For Wallen, however, he wanted I’m The Problem to be a direct statement and acknowledgment of his past shortcomings, “I mean, I think it’s just at this point in my life, to me, and I’ve said this maybe before, but this feels like… I don’t know the future. I don’t know, I’m really taking things day by day, but it feels like… Just the way that my life has taken me and where I’m at as a man, it just seems like it might be the last time that I really get to honestly say that as a person. So I think it’s me. I’ve always prided myself in taking accountability for what I do, and this is just a big stamp on that for me.”
