Her first attempt at original music and content is entitled Foolish in love. Foolish in Love is scheduled to be Robbie’s debut single as she introduces herself to the dynamic music scene. When asked about the inspiration behind her debut single, Robbie shared “I have never been lucky in love. It seems when you are in love you do crazy things and allow crazy things. You begin to think, I love you but I am foolish in love because if not for love I would not be doing certain things.” Sticking true to channeling personal experiences in her music, Robbie explained that “the idea for Foolish in Love emerged when I reminisced on my past relationships and explored what I could have done to change the situation.” She further explains, " I hope people would learn to put feelings aside and not stay in a relationship when it is not working just for the sake of love." Unveiling this level of vulnerability through her music, Robbie seeks to win over listeners and consumers as she makes her way through the musical scene.
