Composition

Stray Kids' in-house production team 3Racha—Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—wrote "Giant" alongside Restart and Chae Gang-hae. Yohei was in charge of the song's Japanese lyrics. "Giant" is a combination of boom bap and dubstep with strong bass and synthesizer sounds. Lyrically, the song expresses "working hard and refusing to take anything for granted, no matter how famous you get."

The members also collect and gather bejewelled eggs to complete their base.
