The song was written by Maxi Jazz, Rollo, Sister Bliss and Jamie Catto and featured on the band's second album, "Sunday 8PM". Faithless won a BRIT Award for Best British Act in 1999 for their work on the song and other tracks on "Sunday 8PM". "Billboard" claimed in an article in early 1999 that many people involved with dance music thought that "God Is a DJ" should have been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording of 1998. ["Billboard", 23 January 1999, Vol. 111 Issue 4, p34, Accessed through EBBSCO Publishing, 20 May 1999]

The song re-entered the UK chart in 2005 following the release of Forever Faithless and reached #66.
