Breathe (Erasure song)

Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRE : Breathe (Erasure song)

"Breathe" is a song by British synth pop duo Erasure. It was released by Mute Records in the UK and the U.S. as the first single from the band's eleventh studio album Nightbird. Written and produced by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the track is a mid-tempo love song similar in musical style to their 1994 hit "Always", albeit with more uplifting lyrical content. "Breathe" was remixed slightly for its radio version — most notably in the song's introduction. The UK compact disc single included CD-ROM information that allowed buyers to download the Digipro software package and use isolated musical tracks of "Breathe" to create their own remixes. For a time fans were able to upload their finished "Breathe" remixes to Erasure's website to share with others.

Upon its release, "Breathe" hit number four on the UK singles chart, Erasure's highest-charting UK single since "Always" hit number four a decade earlier. In the United States, Erasure entered the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart for the first time in eight years and scored their second U.S. dance chart-topper — the first being "Victim of Love" in 1987. In Germany, "Breathe" was Erasure's twentieth top-forty single, peaking at number thirty-five.
