Background

The single "That's What Love Can Do" reached number 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart in 2019.[1] On January 4, 2021, Thicke announced the upcoming release of his first full-length album in six years, following 2014's Paula.[2] On Earth, and in Heaven includes songs Thicke wrote about his father, Alan Thicke, who died in 2016, and Andre Harrell, who died in 2020.[3] Thicke explained the album's inspiration: "I feel like I'm finally the person I set out to be. I'm able to laugh at anything, which I've realized is the greatest superpower. I've fully embraced it, and nothing has been better for my soul. When I saw the phrase 'On Earth, and in Heaven', I realized that's what I'm singing about: the people who aren't here and the people who are here that made me who I am. This music is the sunshine coming out after the rain".[4]
