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.
