Robbery (Lime Cordiale song)


"Robbery" is a song recorded by Australian pop rock duo Lime Cordiale and released in September 2019 as the fifth single from their second studio album 14 Steps to a Better You. The song was polled at number 7 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2019.
The song peaked at number 63 on the ARIA Charts in February 2020, becoming the band's first single to peak inside the ARIA top 100. "Robbery" was certified gold in Australia in 2020.
Lime Cordiale member Louis Leimbach said "I love the 60s feel to the song. The whole song could just be a baritone sax and a snare and all the main elements would be there. The song all started with that line 'Hey, there's been a robbery'. When you meet someone, even just for a moment, they make an impact and then they're gone. You're left feeling robbed. You feel as though you need to find them somehow but it's no use."

Music video

The music video was directed and produced by Jack Shepherd, Oliver Leimbach, Louis Leimbach, James Jennings, Felix Bornholdt, Nich Polovineo and Adam Haynes and follows a broken-hearted Louis Leimbach to some of the most iconic landmarks and vistas across Spain, Ireland, France, England, Netherlands, Belgium and Australia as he searches for romance.
