“I Kill Giants” is the third single from In Rolling Waves, the second studio album from The Naked and Famous, and was released on October 31, 2013.
According to vocalist Alisa Xayalith, the song is about her losing her mother to breast cancer at a very young age, admitting that “[She] felt insecure singing about something so infinitely painful and blatantly autobiographical.” The title comes from a comic book of the same name by Joe Kelly.
The music video, which debuted on the same day, features two women performing theatrical dance in front of a church congregation, and was directed by Joel Kefali. New Zealand actress and dancer Olivia Tennet choreographed the video along with Kerry Wallis.
Though intended for inclusion on debut album Passive Me, Aggressive You, the tune was not finished in time for that album.
