'fall back' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'with louder song being played' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'being played' indicates an anagram.
'louder'+'song' is 'loudersong'.
'loudersong' with letters rearranged gives 'LOSE GROUND'.

Can you help me to learn more?
