Utopia was written by Björk with 14 of the songs co-written with Arca and one of the songs co-written with Sarah Hopkins. All of the songs except one is co-produced by Acra. One of the songs is co-produced by Rabit. Björk formed a twelve piece Icelandic female flute orchestra, which she arranged for and conducted.

The album’s artwork (above) was created in collaboration of M/M, Jesse Kanda and James Merry and reflects the records sonic direction; optimism, lightness, Utopia.
