Paper hearts
Heartbreak, handmade.

Why it works
Hand-cut paper has real shadows and edges, impossible to mistake for AI. The torn heart is a direct metaphor, but crafted.
How to adapt it to your song
Swap the heart for another symbol from the song (a house, a plane, a ring) in paper.
The prompt
Professional music album cover art, square 1:1 format. The artist's idea decides the scene, pose, props and composition (the style only adds camera, light and color): A handmade paper-craft collage on a flat red background: layered cut-paper hearts in pink, white and dark red, one big heart torn in half down the middle with rough paper fibers, photographed from above with soft shadows between the paper layers. The title "Partido" in hand-cut paper letters glued slightly crooked across the torn heart. "ROMEO GIL" in small cut-paper letters at the bottom.. Camera, light and color in this style, keeping the scene above: hyper-realistic high-fashion editorial cover, medium format camera with an 85mm lens at f/1.8, the artist facing camera, real skin texture, large soft key light with a crisp rim light, shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh, deep teal shadows and warm amber highlights, luxury magazine cover energy. The song title "Partido" appears ONLY where the scene places it, spelled exactly, once; do not add it again anywhere else. Artist name on the cover, spelled exactly, small and shown once: "ROMEO GIL". The title appears EXACTLY ONCE, only where the scene above places it and made of the material the scene describes; do NOT add a second title, logo or headline anywhere else (no chrome or metallic logo at the top). The artist name appears once, small, where the scene says. Every letter perfectly spelled and fully visible. No other readable text anywhere. Pop graphic art direction: one clear idea, a short bold color palette, a simple or flat background, readable as a phone thumbnail. People look natural and real, with personality or humor, dressed as described; never a generic glamour or swimsuit pose. Finish the whole image, lettering included, like this: harsh direct on-camera flash photography like a 2000s paparazzi or Juergen Teller editorial: hard specular highlights on skin and jewelry, crisp shadow outline behind the subject, slightly blown highlights, deep black falloff, raw candid energy, visible skin texture and pores, no retouching. Finish it like real printed graphic design, not an AI render: flat clean color areas, crisp shapes, visible print texture where it fits (halftone dots, risograph grain, paper tooth), no glossy 3D sheen, no HDR, no plastic skin, no lens flare.
