The song was released in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2012 as the third single from their debut studio album, Home . It came in at number 16 in the 2012 Hottest 100,announced on Australia Day 2013. It was featured in the first episode of season three of Teen Wolf .

A music video to accompany the release of "Not Giving In",written and directed by Josh Cole,was first released onto YouTube on 17 October 2012 at a total length of five minutes and twenty-nine seconds. [3] The video was filmed in the shanty towns of Manila,Philippines,and follows the life of two brothers growing up in poverty. The two later go their separate ways,as one manages to escape the city's underbelly and succeeds in breakdancing,whereas the other becomes trapped in a life of gang violence,drug crime and a murder,eventually resulting in his death. [4] [5] The video has won several awards,including best dance video at the UK MVA's [6] [7] and best new director at the Cannes Lions festival. [8]
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
Lashings of jazzy brass,twinkling piano and rumbling bass hears them picking up almost exactly where they left off. "This time I'm gonna be stronger/ I'm not giving in," John Newman declares in his smooth tone,richer than a double chocolate pud and just as satisfying. Rudimental may not have delivered a game-changer,but when your sound is still this fresh,why bother? . [9]
From 2014,the song has been used as the team entrance song for the Port Adelaide Football Club at home games at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. The song was used in a Super Rugby advertising campaign for KFC in New Zealand,during the 2020 season.
The song became a meme in Finland,as "not giving in",when sung in the chorus,sounds similar to "nakkivene" which translates to "wiener boat" in Finnish. When Rudimental performed the song during Provinssirock 2014,people threw wieners with small "sails" at the stage.[ citation needed ]
