Background and promotion[]

"Breathless" tells a tale about a woman who is so wonderful, she can take a man's breath away. Ward conceived the song possibly during his relationship with his then-girlfriend Faye McKeever.

Promotion for the single was very limited; which would explain the relatively moderate chart position of the song when compared to his previous singles. The only live performances shown to the public were when Ward performed the song during the results show in the fourth series of The X Factor on 10 November 2007, BBC Switch: Sound on 17 November 2007, and on The Paul O'Grady Show on 19 November 2007.

"Breathless" entered the UK Singles Chart on 25 November 2007 at number 6. It was number 4 on the HMV Official Singles Chart. The song has so far sold 102,000 copies in the UK.
