Writing lots of love songs for the album didn't really appeal to me so I drew inspiration from many other areas of my life. Working with Matt Hales was such an amazing experience. I went to his studio in LA with an open mind and wanting to create something that had it's own sound... Giants is what came out of the process.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“\u003cstrong\u003eKeep Running\u003c\/strong\u003e is about the rat race of living in a big city - a father that gets up at the crack of dawn to provide for his family, and a rich kid who gets no love from her parents and ends up falling into dark ways.
