"Louder Than the DJ" comes from Afraid of Heights, the fifth studio album by Canadian rockers Billy Talent, released in July 2016, four years after Dead Silence. Ian D'Sa wrote the music and shared the lyric with Benjamin Kowalewicz.

The record was made under a cloud. In January 2016, just as the sessions were getting under way, drummer Aaron Solowoniuk announced in a YouTube video that a multiple sclerosis relapse would keep him off the kit for the foreseeable future, so Jordan Hastings of Alexisonfire and Say Yes stepped in to record the album's drums and play the tour that followed. It was the first Billy Talent album made without Solowoniuk.
