"Breathe" is the title of the debut single by the French dance music group Télépopmusik. It features guest vocals by singer Angela McCluskey and appears on the group's 2001 album Genetic World.
Released as a single throughout 2002, "Breathe" reached #42 on the UK Singles Chart in March of that year.[1] The single was released late in the year in the US, and it reached its peak chart positions on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart (#9) and the Hot 100 chart (#78) in February 2003.[2][3]
"Breathe" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Dance Recording at the ceremony held in February 2004, losing out to "Come into My World" by Kylie Minogue.
The song was reviewed favorably by Chris Long at the BBC, who described McCluskey's vocals as "breathless" and said the single was "a deliciously silky track that lolls by a holiday pool and enjoys the sunshine."[4]
"Breathe" was featured in an advertising campaign by the automobile company Mitsubishi in 2003 to promote its Outlander model, and in the UK by Peugeot in 2002 to promote the 307. "Breathe" was also featured in the advertising campaign by Visa Europe in their "Love Every Day" campaign.
