who is on the cover of u2 you're the best thing about me
You're the Best Thing About Me In a 15 May 2017 article in The Irish Times, Bono first mentioned that the band's next single would be "You're the Best Thing About Me".[9] On 29 August 2017, the song was confirmed to be the first single from Songs of Experience,[13] and it was released on 6 September.[14] The cover photograph, taken by the band's photographer Anton Corbijn, depicts the Edge's daughter, Sian, wearing a military helmet. The image evokes the cover art of the group's 1998 compilation album The Best of 1980–1990, which showed the younger brother of Guggi, a friend of Bono, wearing a similar helmet.[15] On 7 September, the band performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon[16] before debuting it live three days later at a concert in Indianapolis on the Joshua Tree Tour 2017.[17] The song was the band's 42nd track to enter the Alternative Songs chart in the US, further extending their record for the chart. It was also the group's 27th entry on the Adult Alternative Songs chart, the second-most all time;[18] the track eventually reached number one on Adult Alternative Songs, making it U2's record-breaking 13th track to top the chart.[19]
