Let me be the one you back that ass up to (come on)
Go from Malibu to Paris, boo (yeah)

Overall Meaning

The song Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell showcases a playful and flirtatious approach towards a woman. The opening lines of the song instruct the listeners to get up and get ready for the beat to drop. The lyrics suggest that the woman doesn't need any documentation to prove her connection with the singer, and he's ready to liberate her. The following verse indicates that the woman is good but wants to get nasty, which confirms the premise of the song as temporary confusion between consensual sex and coercion.


The song features a call and response motif between the singer and the woman. It looks like the singer is trying to convince the woman to engage with him, whereas the woman's responses remain largely ambiguous. The lyrics and video of the song received widespread criticism for being sexist, objectifying women, and promoting rape culture. Despite the criticism, the song peaked at number one in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and became the best-selling single of 2013 worldwide.
