Booming Back at You is the fifth studio album by Dutch electronic musician, remixer and producer Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL. It was released on 11 March 2008 by Artwerk, the joint venture of video game developer Electronic Arts and music company Nettwerk. The album was moderately successful in the charts, reaching number eleven in the Billboard Top Electronic Albums and becoming Junkie's first album to chart in the United States. The song "More" has been featured in the soundtrack of video game Need for Speed: ProStreet, "Mad Pursuit" was featured in the film 21 and the video game UEFA Euro 2008, and "Cities in Dust" was featured in the episode "Woman On the Verge" of the television series Gossip Girl and the video game Burnout Paradise.
After the release of his previous album Today, Junkie XL announced that he was no longer signed to the record label Roadrunner Records, and that all future albums would be self-released. However, by March 2007 video game developer Electronic Arts and music company Nettwerk announced their new joint venture, the record label Artwerk, to which they had already signed Junkie as their "flagship artist". Junkie had previously appeared on several EA game soundtracks, and even produced the soundtrack to Forza Motorsport, making him an ideal candidate. Artwerk announced their first studio album release with Junkie, Booming Back at You, in December. The title "Booming Back at You" was inspired by Junkie's fellow producers, Freq Nasty and Yonderboi. They also confirmed the album's first single "More", which was already available for download from various retailers and had been featured in the soundtrack of Need for Speed: ProStreet. The Song Mad Pursuit, which is featuring Electrocute, is also on the soundtrack of UEFA Euro 2008 and FIFA 09. The album itself was released on 11 March 2008 in the Netherlands and the United States.
