Background

edit

My solo debut has been a really long time coming, so we made sure that we edited and tweaked the track until it felt perfect. I’ve been anticipating this moment for some time now and am buzzing to share "Giving Me" with you all.

— Jazzy on writing the record, IMRO[3]

Composition

edit

"Giving Me" was described as a "club-ready slice of Irish house" filled with "steady handclaps" and a "hypnotic delivery" by the singer. Lyrically, the song explores themes of moving on from a past relationship by getting back out in town after a period of healing.[1]

Commercial performance

For the chart dated 19 May 2023, the song topped the Irish Singles Chart, earning the singer her second number-one song following "Make Me Feel Good" (2021) with Belters Only. This achievement made her the first Irish female artist to top the national charts in over 14 years.[4] It spent a total of three weeks atop the chart.[5]
