hi User:Ss112, I saw your comments in the edit summary, please see the youtube release of the song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-PJmmvyP10?t=216 , it clearly shows the same image as has been posted. Now unless, you can point another image that is applicable here, I suggest not to remove this image from this article without discussion with User:Flooded with them hundreds here. --DBigXray 16:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DBigXray: I'm not getting into another pointless argument with that user. Also, you don't seem aware that it is a common thing for songs that don't have cover art themselves to use the album's cover art, especially in the lead up to the album's release. It is very common in the music world. That doesn't mean it is the song's cover art. "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee is from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack and merely used what was revealed as the soundtrack's cover art for months. It's a similar case for this song. I also don't know why you're bringing this up now. Ss112 16:33, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, another user will probably just remove it down the line—I think this is just delaying the inevitable. Current convention is we don't use the same cover art for both an album and a song on Wikipedia, especially when we know it to be the album's cover art. Ss112 16:38, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Ss112, thanks for the kind reply, talking about the topic, and ignoring your observations on me or Flooded. Let me clarify that I have pointed you the link of the official release by the artist on Youtube, showing they have used the same image. Now I understand that you disagree, that is fine with me, but you need to provide a link where some other image has been used for this song. --DBigXray 16:41, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@DBigXray: You aren't understanding what I'm saying. Some songs do not have unique cover art. It is not a requirement that songs have cover art on Wikipedia or off—some don't, so they use the album cover art (which this is), especially in the lead-up to the album's release, as this was. I am saying this song does not have its own cover art. Check out a few recent song articles—you will see what I mean. Like "Breathin" by Ariana Grande does not have its own cover art. So of course they used that in a video for the song—it's still the album's art, not the song's own cover art. How many songs and albums do you know share exactly the same cover art? It doesn't happen. I'm sorry, but if you don't get what I'm saying at this point I assume you don't understand the way the music industry currently works—most other music editors understand what I'm saying. Please ask a few. Also, you don't need to keep tagging me. I don't know if you're watching the page, but I am. Thanks. Ss112 16:47, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen several songs with same cover art as the album. but lets talk about this song only. here are some more reasons why I believe this image deserves to be here.
I think these links are enough to suggest that the image is appropriately used here.--DBigXray 16:58, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're literally just finding examples of exactly what I've described: songs use their parent album's cover art because they don't have their own. Artists frequently release promotional singles in the lead-up to the album's release, and often there are three, four, five instances of separate downloads for songs on iTunes bearing the album's cover art: Would you support using an album's cover art across multiple articles just because that's what iTunes shows for songs? We generally don't use the album's cover art on two articles (you can find examples of what I'm talking about, and I just showed you one with "Breathin") and it's not seen as acceptable. Further than that, I'm sorry, I'm done discussing this, because you don't appear to understand current music conventions on Wikipedia and you will just keep insisting on using it. Regular music editors understand what I'm talking about, and I'm quite sure they'll probably eventually remove it from here themselves. Ss112 17:11, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
DBigXray, I have nothing to discuss with that person. However, it's common for a single to use its album's cover as its own temporarily until the album is released. Flooded with them hundreds 18:31, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A friend of mine nowadays believe that Alan Walker is a puppet of Illuminati. I remember him walking along with me, singing 'Darkside'. Here are two URL's to the Youtube videos that , acoording to him, proves this:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEcQjtKZmSQ
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtY1QurbeF4

Please help me out of this conflict of beliefs and lies.--Sam Ruben Abraham (talk) 14:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
