Composition

"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.[2]

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.[3] It spent a total of three weeks atop the chart.[4]
