Songfacts®:

  • Robin Thicke was heartbroken after he and Paula Patton legally separated on February 24, 2014 after nearly nine years of marriage. In the months following the split, Thicke made several attempts to repair the marriage, including recording an album, Patton, full of songs about how he feels about her. This track finds him admitting to his errors and promising to love her every chance he gets.
  • So what was the cause of Thicke and Patton's break up after 20 years of being together? "[Cheating] is not why we're apart," he stated during an interview on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning. "We're apart because we just couldn't be together anymore for a while. There's a hundred different reasons, there isn't just one. There's a long list. I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy, and little too full of myself."
