This World's a Giant

[citation needed] Zach Bryan initially teased the song on X in January 2024.

[1][2] In in July 2024, he shared a video snippet of himself performing an acoustic version of the song.

[3][4] The instrumental consists of piano, acoustic guitars and horns[5] that appear to be influenced by the music of Bon Iver and jazz.

[4][5][6] Zach Bryan sings about looking for peaceful, quiet and solitude moments away from the outside world[1][3] where there are other pressures he must confront,[4] describing the ideal place that is his room in the first verse: "There's guitars ringin' now from the top floor of this house / That I've learned to rest my soul inside / Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant / That I don't feel like facing tonight".

[5] Heaven Schmitt, leader of the New York indie band Grumpy, sings backup harmonies in the song.
