Giant Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I understood loneliness before I knew what it was
Saw the pills on the table for your unrequited love
Well, I would be nothing without you holding me up
Now I'm strong enough for both of us
Both of us, both of us, both of us

[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I am a giant (Ooh)
Stand up on my shoulders, tell me what you see
'Cause I am a giant (Ooh)
We'll be breaking boulders underneath our feet
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)

[Verse 2: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Don't hide your emotions, you can throw down your guard
And feed from the notion we can be who we are
You taught me something, yeah, freedom is ours
It was you who taught me living is
Togetherness, togetherness, togetherness

[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I am a giant (Ooh)
Stand up on my shoulders, tell me what you see
'Cause I am a giant (Ooh)
We'll be breaking boulders, underneath our feet
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)

[Bridge: Rag'n'Bone Man]
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
I'm gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt under me, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
I'm gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt under me, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
Gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
Gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
Gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh)
Gonna shake, throw it away in the dirt

[Outro: Rag'n'Bone Man]
(Ooh)
I am, I am, I am (Ooh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Ooh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Ooh)

Genius Annotation

“Giant” is the first 2019 single from Calvin Harris and his first collaboration with Rag'n'Bone Man.

The song was announced on social media four days before its release:

Rag'n'Bone Man posted on his Instagram that:

I wrote this song 4 years ago reflecting about my childhood and how parents aren’t always as strong as they seem. “I am a giant” is me telling my parents, “it’s my time to look after you” but the production was never right, it just got left in the vault for all that time. Fast forward to 2018 and I got word Calvin wanted to work on it. He properly breathed a new life into a song I hold very dearly.
