It might have been four years ago now, but the shadow of his assault on girlfriend Rihanna still haunts Chris Brown.
But during an interview on US TV show Today with Matt Lauer he reasserted that he knows what he did was wrong and that it will never happen again.
"For me, you know, I've been humbled by the whole experience," Brown said.
"From me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public opinion or whatever it is - but most importantly, you know, knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologize to, you know, Rihanna and be that man that can be a man, you know?"
But most people haven't been particularly concerned with whether or not Brown forgives himself, but rather whether Brown has truly changed his ways and grown up.
Lauer pointed out that some of the singer's recent behaviour hasn't exactly shown maturity.
But Brown responded to the his doubters saying: "I think everybody is entitled to their opinion. For me, it's just a learning process. You know, I have to just take it one day at a time. I can't make everybody like me... it's about me being positive."
Brown also credited his 52 weeks of domestic-violence couselling with helping him realise "why did I do what I did?" and helped with "Knowing that what I did was wrong, and never doing it again."
Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship has always been a stormy one
He added: "So as far as me and [Rihanna] are concerned, she knows my heart, and I know her heart. So I'm not really focusing on the negative."
He concluded by saying that the pair's fiery relationship was more settled now, saying "everything's good."
When Matt Lauer asked if Brown was sure there would never be another domestic violence incident, the singer laughingly answered "Absolutely!"
