Is Robin Thicke telling the truth or trying to distance himself from the "Blurred Lines" copyright lawsuit? (@FLOW935 / Twitter)

The comments came about earlier today as a part of a lawsuit between the "Blurred Lines" songwriters and Marvin Gaye's estate over the resemblance Thicke's hit has with Gaye's 1977 tune "Got to Give It Up."

Thicke, who has acknowledged that "Got to Give It Up" was an influence on "Blurred Lines," also said that - aside from recording the lead vocals - he had very little to do with the actual creation of the 2013 hit, estimating that Pharrell Williams had already written about 75 percent of the song by the time he walked into the studio.

The singer continued by saying that he was drunk during almost all of his media appearances to promote "Blurred Lines," although he was off Vicodin by the time of the deposition.

In earlier interviews, Thicke has stated that the writing of "Blurred Lines" was a much more collaborative effort, so it's not clear whether these new comments are the actual truth or just an attempt to distance himself from the lawsuit with the Gaye estate.
