"
Breath" is the second single and the third track from
post-grunge/
alternative metal band
Breaking Benjamin's third album,
Phobia. It was the band's fourth charted song on the U.S. Hot 100 overall, and the second from
Phobia. Although "Breath" failed to capture the pop success of
The Diary of Jane at #50 where "Breath" hit #84 on the
Billboard Hot 100, it was more successful on the rock charts where it hit #1 on the US
Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making it Breaking Benjamin's first number-one hit staying there for seven weeks where "The Diary of Jane" hit #2 and it also hit #3 on the US
Modern Rock Tracks chart tying with
So Cold as their highest-charting single on the chart where "The Diary of Jane" hit #4.
