Melissa Etheridge version

Шаблон:Infobox song Melissa Etheridge covered "Breathe" for her eighth studio album, Lucky. Her version was produced by John Shanks and was released as the album's lead single on January 12, 2004. Although the song did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, stalling at number six on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, it became Etheridge's second number-one single on the Billboard Triple-A chart, staying at the top for two weeks. It also became a top-10 hit on the Billboard Adult Top 40 and briefly charted in the Netherlands, where it reached number 96.

Background and release

"Breathe" is the only song from Lucky that Etheridge did not write. John Shanks produced the track while Paul Bushnell from American rock band Ednaswap plays bass guitar on the song. Etheridge recorded the song at Henson Recording in Hollywood, California. In the United States, AOL Music made "Breathe" available for streaming on December 1, 2003, and it was officially sent to radio on January 12, 2004, as the album's lead single. The same year, the song was released physically in the Netherlands, issued as a CD single with the B-side "Kiss Me". Lucky was released on February 10, 2004, with "Breathe" appearing as the fourth track.

Critical reception

Reviewing "Breathe" for the January 24, 2004, issue of Billboard, Keith Caulfield noted Etheridge's "warm and familiar" voice and "gutsy" vocals, calling the track "solid" and "rocking" with a "killer" chorus. During an album review for the same publication, Michael Paoletta wrote that "Breathe" does not have the same charm as Etheridge's previous hits such as "Come to My Window" and "I'm the Only One". Johnny Loftus of AllMusic was also indifferent to the track, calling it "sappy". In 2005, at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, the song was nominated for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, losing to "Code of Silence" by Bruce Springsteen.
