"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 Rag'n'Bone Man alongside Jamie Hartman and Troy Miller and produced by Harris.

"Giant" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks.[2] According to figures released by PPL, the track was the most played song in the UK in 2019.[3]

The song 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 Australia, Denmark, France, Italy, Lebanon, Norway and Romania.

In 2020, "Giant" was nominated for Song of the Year at the Brit Awards,[4] closely losing out to Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved".[5] In the same year the song won the Ivor Novello award for PRS for Music Most Performed Work.[6]

It was later used in a Lloyds Bank TV advert,[7] which was released in February 2022.
