"Don't Hold Your Breath" is a song by American recording artist Nicole Scherzinger, taken from her debut studio album, Killer Love (2011).[1] The empowering mid-tempo pop song was written by Toby Gad, Josh Alexander and Billy Steinberg. The song was released on March 10, 2011, as the album's second single. Critical reception towards the song was positive, with critics preferring it over previous Pussycat Dolls singles, as well as praising the empowering message and theme. The pop production was also praised.
A demo version of "Don't Hold Your Breath" with lead vocals from Timbaland and Keri Hilson leaked out in 2010. Then in early January 2011, a second demo version with an altered production, different lyrics and uncredited female vocals also leaked. This was followed by a third unfinished version, this time with Scherzinger's vocals, before the final version premiered on January 14, 2011. The song's lyrics speak of the female protagonist realising that her relationship with her man is over and she is not going to return to what used to be. An accompanying music video was directed by Rich Lee, and follows Scherzinger as she experiences the emotions of the song. Scenes include a hackney carriage journey, self-realisation, scornful glances in a mirror and wandering an old 1930's house.
"Don't Hold Your Breath" made its Irish chart debut at number four, becoming Scherzinger's highest charting single as a lead artist. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her first single as a solo artist to do so.Moon Music
Don't Hold Your Breath Lyrics
Don't Hold Your Breath lyrics
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
I was under your spell for such a long time couldn’t break the chains
You played with my heart told me if I’m worth all your lies and games
It took all the strength I had but I crawled up on my feet again
Now you’re trying to lure me back but no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much that I thought that someday you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
I was worried about you but you never cared about me none
You took my money and I knew [...]
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
Move on don’t look back
I jumped off the train running off the tracks
Your days are gone face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don't Hold Your Breath lyrics
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
I was under your spell for such a long time couldn’t break the chains
You played with my heart told me if I’m worth all your lies and games
It took all the strength I had but I crawled up on my feet again
Now you’re trying to lure me back but no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much that I thought that someday you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
I was worried about you but you never cared about me none
You took my money and I knew [...]
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
Move on don’t look back

Your days are gone face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
Don’t hold your breath
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
