Born Innocent is the fifth studio album by Scottish rock duo The Proclaimers, released in 2003 on their own label, Persevere Records, and produced by Edwyn Collins. Born Innocent reached No. 70 in the UK Albums Chart as well as No. 7 in the duo's native Scotland. The release also made the Top 10 of the UK Indie Chart.
Praised by AllMusic as "fiery" and a "return to form", the album featured a raw sound with elements of post-punk, folk and 1960s rhythmn and blues. The album's lyrical themes ranged from responses to the response to the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, to drug abuse, parenthood and middle age.
