"Breathe Gentle" is a duet by Italian singer Tiziano Ferro and American singer Kelly Rowland.

The song reached #1 on the Italian Airplay Charts and #9 on the Dutch Top 40.{{cite web|title=Song Performance|work=aCharts.us|url=http://acharts.us/song/43203|accessdate=April 25, 2009|archive-date=August 9, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809082945/http://acharts.us/song/43203|url-status=live}}
Music video
The music video for the song was shot at Lake Garda, directed by Gaetano Morbioli and its content is similar to that of James Bond movies.
In the video, Ferro and Rowland are two thieves living a dangerous love story. In the end, they are close to getting caught by the police after a heist apparently staged to steal a valuable diamond, but they manage to fly away together successfully in a helicopter.
