It was released on June 23, 2017 as the album's lead single.[2] "Giants" was serviced to American hot adult contemporary radio on July 24, 2017.[3] In January 2018, four new versions of the song, recorded in Japanese, French, Spanish and Tagalog, were released.[4] ContentThe title and hook for the song were inspired by a phrase featured on British currency: "And we will ride on the shoulders of giants."[5] The chorus and verses for the song were developed separately and are set to different tempos; according to Lights, this created a "challenging structure" to deal with, but the writers were determined to mesh the two parts.[5] Chart performance"Giants" debuted at number 41 on the Canada Hot AC chart dated August 12, 2017 and has since reached a peak of 14.[6] "Giants" also debuted at number 39 on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart dated August 19, 2017.[7] This made it Lights' first song to chart in the United States. Music videoThe accompanying music video for "Giants" was directed by Jeremy Schaulin-Rioux and premiered June 23, 2017.[8] It takes place in the dystopian world created for the Skin & Earth comic series connected with the album, and introduces characters and events that takes place in the series' fifth issue.[9] In the video, Lights plays En, the protagonist from her Skin & Earth comics, as she meets a mysterious being and is transported to another dimension.[1][10] Charts
