"Giving You Up" is a song by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue from her greatest album Ultimate Kylie (2004). The song was released as the album's second and final single on 28 March 2005. It was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Lisa Cowling, Paul Woods, Nick Coler, and Minogue, while production was by Higgens and Xenomania. The song is a dance track, which features instrumentation of synthesizers and keyboards. The track was her last solo single after she was diagnosed with breast cancer two months later, and resumed with 2007 single "2 Hearts".

"Giving You Up" received mixed reviews from music critics, whom complimented Minogue's vocals but dismissed the production and composition. It peaked inside the top ten in both Australia and the United Kingdom, and also charted in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and Finland. Alex and Martin commissioned the accompanying music video for the single, which shows Minogue as a giantess and walking around the streets of London. "Giving You Up" has only been performed on her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour.

Kylie Minogue's track "Giving You Up" appears on her third greatest hits album Ultimate Kylie (2004). It received positive reviews from music critics and peaked inside the top twenty in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and Germany. The album was certified quadruple platinum in Australia and triple platinum in Australia and the UK, respectively.

In support of the album, she released its lead single "I Believe in You" (December 2004). An uptempo electropop song, "I Believe in You" received positive reviews from most music critics for its production values and Minogue's vocal abilities. The song was commercially successful, reaching the top ten in countries including Denmark, Australia, Austria, Italy and the UK. "I Believe in You" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, her first charting single in the US since "Red Blooded Woman" (2002).
