Musician Pharrell Williams recently expressed regret over his 2013 “rapey” hit song “Blurred Lines,” which he collaborated on with singer Robin Thicke and rapper T.I.

Sitting down with GQ for an interview published on Monday, the singer claimed he didn’t understand that the song’s lyrics could have an adverse affect on women until well after the song took off. According to the 46-year-old, he now realizes that we have a “chauvinist culture in our country.”
