"Giant" is a song by Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris and English singer-songwriter Rag'n'Bone Man. The song was released through Columbia Records on 11 January 2019.[1] It was written by Harris and Rag'n'Bone Man alongside Jamie Hartman and Troy Miller and produced by Harris. It is Rag'n'Bone Man's first single as a lead artist since 2017's "Broken People", from the soundtrack of the 2017 film Bright (2017), a collaboration with American rapper Logic.

"Giant" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks, kept from the top by "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, which maintained its peak for seven consecutive weeks.[2] The song also topped the charts in Belgium and Scotland and reached the top 10 in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland; as well as the top 20 in Austalia, Denmark, France, Italy, Lebanon, Norway and Romania.

Composition

"Giant" is a gospel-inspired dance[3] and house[4] song. It was called a "soulful number" by Lincoln Journal-Star, with the snippet posted online featuring Rag'n'Bone Man singing "I understood loneliness/Before I knew what it was/Saw the pills on the table/For your unrequited love/I would be nothing".[5]

Promotion

Harris announced the song on 7 January through social media posting a preview.[1] He and Rag'n'Bone Man performed it on The Graham Norton Show and at the 2019 Brit Awards.
