By default Corona positions display objects based on their center. Since you haven’t set a .x and .y, they are 0, 0. Your object is centered on 0, 0. Simly set the .x and .y to where you want it. If you want it centered:
local background = display.newImage(“background,png”)
background.x = display.contentCenterX
background.y = display.contentCenterY

Hey! Like what @Rob mentioned: Set your object in the center… But try this instead.
local background = display.newImageRect( "background.png", 320, 570 ) background.x = display.contentCenterX background.y = display.contentCenterY
Good Luck!
I’d rather use this if you want a fullscreen though it stretches your image so add an “@2x” version of your image.
local background = display.newImageRect( "background.png", display.contentWidth, display.contentheight ) background.x = display.contentWidth/2 background.y = display.contentheight/2
or
Change your anchor X and Y
local background = display.newImageRect( "background.png", display.contentWidth, display.contentheight ) background.anchorX = 0 background.anchorY = 0By default Corona positions display objects based on their center.
