"Breathe You in" a song by German girl group Monrose. It was written by Thanh Bui, Rodney Mark Davies, and Gary Pinto and recorded by Monrose for their fourth studio album Ladylike (2010), while production was helmed by frequent collaborators Pete Kirtley as well as Andrew Murray and Christian Ballard from production duo Snowflakers. An uplifting piano-led ballad with minor contemporary R&B elements, "Breathe You In" is built upon a harp motif. Lyically, it chronicles a woman's love for a man.

Monrose performed "Breathe You In" at The Dome 56 on 26 November 2010 in front of an audience of 10.000 people. They also performed the song at the Popstars: Girls forever final on 9 December 2010.[2]
