The song was released through Columbia Records on 11 January 2019, and included on Harris' seventh studio album, 96 Months (2024).[1] It was written by Rag'n'Bone Man alongside Jamie Hartman and Troy Miller and produced by Harris.

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]
