"Breathing" is a song recorded by American recording artist Jason Derulo for his second studio album, Future History (2011). It was written by Lauren Christy, Julian Bunetta, Krassimir Tsvetanov Kurkchiyski, Shope Trad and Folksong Thrace, while production of the song was helmed by DJ Frank E. "Breathing" was initially released as one of four promotional singles for the album in September 2011. It was later released to contemporary hit radio in Australia on October 24, 2011, and elsewhere from January 31, 2012, as the third single from Future History. Musically, "Breathing" is a Eurodance song that displays influences of electro and house, and features "tribal vocal chorales" in the background. It samples the song "Pilentze Pee", which is sung by the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir. Lyrical inspiration for the song came from the death of Derulo's cousin, who died in 2011.
"Breathing" garnered positive reviews by many music critics, most of whom praised the production. The song attained moderate chart success, where it peaked inside the top-ten on the singles charts in Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland. Additionally, it reached the top-thirty in France, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The song peaked at number 28 on the US Pop Songs chart. "Breathing" was certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for shipments of 140,000 copies. The accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley, and features Derulo in an abandoned warehouse, as well as other scenes of him shirtless in a blue tinted room. Derulo performed "Breathing" live at the Belfast City Hall in Northern Ireland, to coincide with the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. The song has been covered by British recording artist Cher Lloyd.

There are then scenes which feature Derulo standing shirtless in a dark, blue-tinted room, digitally showing the insides of his body to show the intensity of his emotion. After the first chorus, Derulo then rises out of the chair and begins to dance. During the bridge, Derulo is shown kissing his former love interest, before several female backup dancers join him to perform choreography in the final chorus. Aaron-Spencer Charles of Metro noted that the video had "some impressive footwork and a great 'straight jacket' dance move with the choreographed piece with female dancers." A reviewer for 4Music also praised Derulo's dance routines in the video.{{cite web|url=http://www.4music.com/news/news/2024/Jason-Derulo-Breathing-video |title=Jason Derulo – Breathing video |publisher=4Music |date=2011-11-14 |access-date=2012-02-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120214110033/http://www.4music.com/news/news/2024/Jason-Derulo-Breathing-video |archive-date=2012-02-14 }} Contessa Gayles of AOL Music described the video as "creepy" and compared it to Rihanna's "Disturbia" (2008) video.{{cite web|last=Gayles|first=Contessa|url=http://blog.music.aol.com/2011/11/03/jason-derulo-breathing-video/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105055712/http://blog.music.aol.com/2011/11/03/jason-derulo-breathing-video/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 5, 2012|title=Jason Derulo Gets Dark in Haunting 'Breathing' Video|publisher=AOL Music.
