A Great Big World is an American musical duo hailing from New York, consisting of Ian Axel and Chad King. They embarked on their musical journey together after meeting at New York University, where they were both studying music business. Their style is notable for combining heartfelt piano-driven pop with emotionally resonant lyrics, often exploring themes of love, hope, and connection. They first entered the public consciousness in a big way with their breakout hit "Say Something," a poignant ballad that featured Christina Aguilera and won them a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2015.

Since their initial splash in the music scene, A Great Big World has continued to charm audiences with their melodically rich songs that often carry an uplifting and optimistic spirit. Recent releases like "Nothing's Impossible," which beautifully complements "The Imaginary" soundtrack, and festive tunes such as "It's Almost Christmas" and "Wrap Me Up Under the Christmas Tree" showcase their versatility and ability to craft songs for diverse occasions and themes. The duo's musical evolution is further exemplified in the "Particles (Deluxe Edition)," a compilation that sees them experimenting with more complex arrangements and deeper lyrical content, cementing their place in the contemporary music landscape as artists with a sensibility for both the grand and the intimate moments in life.
