"I Kill Giants" is a promotional single from In Rolling Waves, the second studio album from The Naked and Famous.

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.

[3][4] 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.

[5] Matt Collar of AllMusic describes the composition as "particularly epic in proportion and cinematic in its emotional momentum".
