316 is a number that Murs uses frequently throughout his music. This is because it holds a special meaning for him. As stated by Murs in the song “20 Answers”:

It’s my birthday, fool: 3-16
Plus the formula for the every rap song that you sing

Plus, rap songs usually consist of 3 verses each made out of 16 bars. Finally, “John 3:16” is also one of the most widely quoted verses from the Bible:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

Murs may be using this in a sarcastic way. The verse talks about being given everlasting life, yet the industry is being “killed.”
