Quick Facts Single by Juice Wrld, from the album Death Race for Love ...

Background

An emotional separation-themed song,[5] "Robbery" was described as being about "a woman stealing Juice's heart", by Complex[3] and how Juice takes revenge against her while consuming liquor.[6][7]

It was produced by Nick Mira, who also produced Juice's multi-platinum-certified single "Lucid Dreams".[8] Rolling Stone described the song as "dark and melodramatic" while calling it "a clunky metaphor about a woman demanding love" from Juice.[9]

Lyrically, the first verse discusses the comparison of Juice's father advising him about not revealing his insecurities to women and his heart's stance of the contrary.[9]

XXL noted the song as a "heartfelt track about a love that has left Juice broken and confused,"[10] while Highsnobiety identified it as a "melancholic lamenting about a past love."[11][12]

Music video

The official music video for the song was published on Valentine's Day to Lyrical Lemonade, a YouTube channel owned by Cole Bennett, who directed the video along with several of Juice's other music videos.[8]

Bennett was noted for "bringing his after-effects-addled eye" to the video of "Robbery" and "providing it with the same bugged out visual energy" of "Lucid Dreams".[3] Artistically, the video was described as having "splashes of flames" in many scenes while lacking Bennett's signature neon and warping effects.[3]

HipHopDX described the plot as an emo-crooning of Juice while being "surrounded by a background of fire".[13]

Plot-wise, Juice is shown drinking a bottle of Hennessy while walking through the wedding of his ex-lover with another person, to "numb the pain" and "deal with the agony".[8] Shortly after, while leaving, he throws his burning cigarette onto a flower held by a guest, eventually causing the venue's destruction.[8]

The video performance was officially uploaded to the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel (as many other Juice songs) on February 14, 2019, a day after the single's release. As of May 2023, the music video as reached more than 469 million views.
