"Louder than Ever" was the first taste of Mine Is Yours, the Cold War Kids' third album, going out as a download in December 2010 ahead of the record's 2011 release, where it sits second in the running order. Singer Nathan Willett wrote it, and Jacquire King produced, recorded and mixed it, giving the band a big, clean, radio-ready sheen, with Willett's voice straining up over a steady, driving beat. Vern Moen, who had already shot the band's "Audience" clip, directed the video, a story about a model forced to change the way she looks to please the people running her career.
