The 'Happy' singer says he got a major reality check when he learned that some considered the lyrics of 'Blurred Lines,' his smash hit with Robin Thicke and T.I., to be offensive to women.
As a 13-time Grammy winner, Pharrell Williams has certainly been honored for his songwriting, but looking back now, he admits that he's written and recorded lyrics that are, well, problematic.
"I get embarrassed by some of that stuff. It just took a lot of time and growth to get to that place," he adds."I was also born in a different era where the rules of the matrix at that time allowed a lot of things that would never fly today." "My mind opened up to what was actually being said in the song and how it could make someone feel," Williams explains."Even though it wasn't the majority, it didn't matter. I cared what they were feeling too."
