Chris Brown's upcoming album about Karrueche Tran?

Chris Brown has hinted his new album 'X' is about his ex-girlfriend.

The 23-year-old singer - who recently reunited with Rihanna despite still being on probation for beating her in 2009 - has admitted a lot of his new music was inspired by a former love interest, believed to be Karrueche Tran, who he dated on and off for a year.

Chris told MTV News: "The song and the album title 'X' has a couple different meanings. It can refer to an ex-girlfriend, in terms of you always look forward to moving forward from.

"It's also about being a reject in a sense. In me being myself, being able to grow up, me not always hanging around the right crowd or doing the right thing all the time -- it's me saying, 'I'm over it. I'm past the bulls**t now."

The 24-year-old model dated the 'Don't Wake Me Up' hitmaker, who she has a clothing line with, before he left her in October 2012 to reunite with Rihanna.

Chris revealed earlier this week that he thinks about having a "perfect" family with the 24-year-old 'Stay' singer in the future.

He told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show: "It's in a part of my brain, definitely. Right now I have a lot more people to take care of as far as my family, as far as inspiring artists I'm working with. Everything I'm doing now is focused on me giving back.

The family is there. It's going to be what it is. It's going to be perfect. Hopefully that's in the future and I can wait it out."

Meanwhile, Brown is taking his relationship with Rihanna slowly.

The 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker - says he and the 'Diamonds' singer are "good", but their busy work schedules mean they can't be together as much as they would like.

He told the USA Today newspaper: "We're good. We're taking it one day at a time. She's a wonderful girl. She's beautiful. She's on tour and our schedules don't allow us to be as close as we want to be. But everything is good. She will be on my album."

hris and Rihanna have faced a huge backlash since getting back together, but the 23-year-old singer is determined to "prove" himself and be a better person.

He added: "There's still a lot for me to prove. I have a lot of goals and ambition. I'm going to be better in the future."

And the 'Look at Me Now' hitmaker insists he has a much more "positive" attitude these days.

He said: "I'm focused on my path, on being more positive and on the up and up."
