"Giant" was one of five singles lifted from Anything but Words, the debut album by Banks & Steelz, the collaboration that paired Interpol vocalist Paul Banks with Wu-Tang Clan's RZA. It dropped in July 2016, several weeks ahead of the album's late-August release on Warner Bros. Banks and RZA wrote it with Kid Harpoon, and the duo produced it with John Hill, with Jonathan Gilmore engineering.
This odd couple took their time. Recording for the album went back to 2013, and the first demos of the material were made two years before that, so by the time "Giant" arrived the pair had been feeling each other out for the better part of five years. The album also pulled in other Wu-Tang members as guests, plus extra production from Ari Levine and Andrew Wyatt.
