'I realized that there are men who use that same language when taking advantage of a woman': Pharrell admits he's now embarrassed by Blurred Lines lyrics

, Pharrell admits he “didn’t get” the controversy at first; but now he understands “what was actually being said in the song and how it could make someone feel”.“‘I know you want it’ – women sing those kinds of lyrics all the time. So it’s like, ‘What’s rapey about that?’” the singer recalls, in a wide-ranging conversation about new masculinity.

“And then I realized that there are men who use that same language when taking advantage of a woman, and it doesn’t matter that that’s not my behavior. Or the way I think about things. It just matters how it affects women.” “I realized that we live in a chauvinist culture in our country,” he adds. “Hadn’t realized that. Didn’t realize that some of my songs catered to that. So that blew my mind.”

Emily Ratajkowski starred in the Blurred Lines video, later describing it as"the bane of my existence"“You have to make sure that you’re coming from a decent place,” he said in a 2015 interview with“Because when you look at the song in totality you realise that the song’s about a woman who wanted to… who felt something, but decided to take it out on the dancefloor. What’s wrong with that? I know I want it.
