"Paula" is an album-length apology to Robin Thicke's ex-wife, Paula Patton, released in 2014. The album features production from Pharrell Williams and will.i.am.
- The album debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 1 on the R&B Albums chart. It was critically panned, with many critics citing its lyrical themes and musical direction. "Paula" was Robin Thicke's lowest-charting album in the US at the time of its release.
- The album's lead single, "Get Her Back," was accompanied by a music video that featured a cameo from Paula Patton. The song and video were widely criticized for their perceived misogyny and desperation. Thicke reportedly lost millions on the album, both in sales and endorsements.
- The Neptunes produced two tracks on the album, "Lock the Door" and "Something He Can Feel." The album was dedicated to Paula Patton, with Thicke expressing his regret and desire for reconciliation. Despite the album's commercial failure, Thicke continued to tour and record music.
