“How Big Is The Rainbow” was shared with an accompanying music video directed by Dominic Mercurio. Comedian/actor Star Amerasu appears in the visual for the single.
Speaking about the track, Garbus stated:
“The title lyric came out in a flash, and felt more sincere than I’ve ever been lyrically, maybe. But in this day and age, there is no room for subtlety when it comes to advocating for every single human being, for our trans family especially. And SHIT, how big IS the fucking rainbow?! It feels like the time to prove it to each other, to show each other how big it can be.”
