The 'Blurred Lines' singer has made numerous attempts to win back wife Paula Patton, 38, since they split in February but after he was unsuccessful and the actress filed for divorce last week, he is now throwing himself into some uptempo music to distract him from his woes.
Thicke's actor father, Alan Thicke told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We're a tough bunch. In the next album you're going to dance your ass off."
Thicke, 37, released an album of love songs dedicated to his wife of nine years - with whom he has four-year-old son Julian - titled Paula earlier this year in a bid to win her over after allegations of his infidelity emerged.
He said previously: "My music is my therapy. When I make these songs and I listen back to them, they make me feel good about myself because at least I'm admitting my faults, I'm trying to become a better man and better person."
However, Patton has resisted his attempts at reconciliation and filed the paperwork to kick off their divorce proceedings last week.
The 2 Guns actress is reportedly seeking joint legal and physical custody of Julian and the couple's split is now said to be "harmonious", with no issues expected to cause conflict in court.
