I brought this up earlier and I personally think that in the context of the song, it's "seven" as in the age. However, I firmly believe that Al chose the age of seven specifically as a subtle reference to the film's distinctive title art. There are so many other ways to convey that it's something a child would do, and I find it very hard to believe it's a total coincidence that he picked the one that also relates to the movie.

Not so, says Thicke. "For me it's about blurring the lines between men and women and how much we're the same," he said. "And the other side which is the blurred lines between a good girl and a bad girl, and even very good girls all have little bad sides to them."

We tried to do everything that was taboo. Bestiality, drug injections, and everything that is completely derogatory towards women. Because all three of us are happily married with children, we were like, "We're the perfect guys to make fun of this."

People say, "Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?" I'm like, "Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I've never gotten to do that before. I've always respected women." So we just wanted to turn it over on its head and make people go, "Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around."
