Songfacts®:

  • This soul-powered dance-pop track finds Thicke with sex on his mind again as he makes his intentions to a girl clear:

    "I'll rip through all your fancy clothes
    I want to shop for your underwear
    I wanna do it all so close
    Baby, I can make it worth your while,
    When I look right through your dress
    I want your cherry pie."

    Guess the R&B crooner has been listening to Warrant in his spare time.
  • If Thicke and his actor wife Paula Patton couldn't dance around their lounge room to a song, it didn't make it onto Blurred Lines. Robin told Billboard magazine: "My wife and I would hang out at the end of the night, and I would play her the songs I was working on and we would dance around and be so happy. And then some of my sadder and more depressing songs would come on, and we would always want to go back to the top and keep dancing and having a good time."
