Though they’re no strangers to working together (2009’s “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy”), Minaj jumping on a 2015 Thicke track is the equivalent of your friend offering you the last bite of his ice cream cone but when you take it, there’s a sad, lukewarm puddle of brownish liquid at the bottom and nothing more.

He told Good Morning America, “Actually I didn’t write this song so I can’t take credit for the meaning”. After delivering a decent amount of soft, emotional tunes, he’s looking to dance his way back into listeners’ hearts with “Back Together“, his latest Nicki Minaj-assisted single.
The 38-year-old singer is father to Julian, five, with his ex-wife.
Thicke’s legal team is appealing the decision so he is not able to discuss specifics of the case, but Thicke had a message for his fans. “It helps you gain perspective on what’s important in life”. “I took some time off to just be with my son and my family”.
Robin initially tried to win Paula, 39, back after they announced their separation and even penned an album, ‘Paula, ‘ about her.
Decked in his signature black suite and skinny tie, Robin Thicke tries his best to get “Back Together” in his new video featuring Nicki Minaj.
“I spent so much time with my son and that just made me realize what’s most important.”
With the help of an uptempo beat, and the words, “You used your love to tear me apart/ now [bleep] me back together” he’s ready to move on.
Thicke’s still-untitled eighth album is due out this fall.
