On 4 November 2014, Justice Crew announced via Facebook that their debut studio album, Live by the Words was set for release on 28 November 2014.

Band member, John Len Ruela Pearce made the following comment when speaking about the album's release:
"We are so excited to release our first full-length studio album! It feels great to have a body work such as Live by the Words which really showcases us as artists, and we are really pumped for all of our fans to hear it".
The album was preceded by its five singles beginning with "Boom Boom". Released in June 2012 the song entered the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number twenty-four and eventually reached the top of the chart, thereby becoming Justice Crew's first number-one hit. It was certified 6× Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) the following year, denoting shipments in excess of 420,000 copies. "Best Night" followed in January 2013 and became the group's second consecutive top ten hit, peaking at number-seven and subsequently attained a double platinum certification from ARIA.
