Earlier this week, Calvin Harris dropped the very exciting news that he was releasing a brand new collaboration with Rag'n'Bone Man called 'Giant'. Following on from the super successful 'One Kiss' with Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris revealed how his latest collaboration came about.

Speaking in a recent interview, Calvin explained that Rag'n'Bone Man slid into his DMs, describing his latest release as, "one of the most fortuitous songs that's ever come about".

He went on explain that an email just "landed in his inbox" with some demo vocals and some chords that he Rag'n'Bone Man had, asking if they were any good. Once Calvin listened to it, he thought it was amazing.

Calvin delighted fans earlier this week by posting a 10 second clip of the new song on Facebook, simply captioning it, 'CALVIN HARRIS // RAG N BONE MAN coming Friday!!!'.

Now that the release date is finally here, you can hear it on MFR! During the interview, Calvin also reflected on the amazing success he had with his 2018 collaboration with Dua Lipa saying it was the "biggest record of the year".
