Bom Mesmo É Estar Debaixo D'Água
A woman in a red dress, mostly submerged in water, as viewed from beneath the water's surface. Only her the upper part of her face is above water and out of view. The water is greenish, and the entire image has a grainy quality. The name "Luedji Luna" is printed across the top in white, sans serif font, all caps. The name of the album is printed in four lines towards the bottom in the same font, but smaller, but with the words broken up by unexpected spaces as follows: BO MM ESMO ÉE / STAR DE BAI / XOD ' / ÁGUA"

In May 2021, Luna performed three tracks from the album for NPR's Tiny Desk (Home) Concert series, specifically for Tiny Desk Meets AFROPUNK.[3]

Several tracks include poetry from noted Afro-Brazilian writers. The opening track, Uanga, was written and interpreted by Lande Onawale. The fourth track, Ain't Got No, partially covers Nina Simone's Ain't Got No, I Got Life,[4] followed by poetry by Conceição Evaristo. The ninth track, Lençóis, features the poem "Quase," by Tatiana Nascimento.

Luna also includes allusions to African American writers and abolitionists, such as the song title Ain't I a Woman? referencing the book by bell hooks and, ultimately, the 1851 speech by Sojourner Truth.[5]

Accompanying visual album

Bom Mesmo É Estar Debaixo D'Água was accompanied by the release of a twenty-three minute film of the same title. The visual album features six of the album's tracks, including the first five tracks and Lençóis. The film was directed by Joyce Prado, who claims inspiration from Beyoncé's Lemonade.[6]
