Robin Thicke has said that his decision to name new album Paula was a deliberate attempt at transparency with his fans.
The star's split from wife Paula Patton inspired the vast majority of the record's songs, and he's now said that there was a method behind the cringe-worthily obvious title.
"I came right off a tour and I had all these songs and all these ideas and feelings in my heart. And I went right into the studio," he told Ryan Seacrest.

"I wrote all the songs in about three weeks and we recorded the album in about a month."
He added: "Obviously all the songs were about her or about how I feel about her. A lot of songwriters have done this kind of thing before. They won't tell you in the title or they'll be suggestive.
"I was just like, 'There's no reason to hide who this is about'. It's all about her."
He didn't divulge what her reaction to the whole thing has been, but called her "a remarkable woman".
