"Robbery" was the fifth single from 14 Steps to a Better You, the second album by Australian pop rock duo Lime Cordiale, and it hit streaming services in September 2019, months before the record itself arrived in 2020. Dave Hammer produced it, and the writing credit is shared between Louis and Oliver Leimbach, Shane Abrahams, Bijou Choder and Jonathan Pakfar.
Louis Leimbach has said he loves the song's vintage feel and that the whole thing could be stripped down to a baritone sax and a snare without losing anything essential. It's about somebody who crosses your path for a moment, leaves a mark and vanishes, leaving you feeling robbed and chasing a ghost. It reached 63 on the ARIA singles chart, its video was up for Best Video at the ARIA Music Awards of 2020, and APRA nominated it for Most Performed Alternative Work.
