The Temper Trap’s recent performance of “Giving Up Air” on Jimmy Kimmel Live showcased the band’s latest single, a soaring, synth-driven anthem released on 25 September 2025 as part of the group’s return with new music after a nine-year gap. The track, produced by Grammy-nominated Styalz Fuego, blends euphoric, festival-ready textures with lyrics frontman Dougy Mandagi wrote about the emotional weight of grief and loss, charting a journey from shock and sorrow to moments of hope in between. “Giving Up Air” was originally penned for Mandagi’s solo project Bloodmoon before the band developed it together, and it has since become a key piece of The Temper Trap’s renewed creative chapter.
