"Breathe Gentle" is a duet by Italian singer Tiziano Ferro and American singer Kelly Rowland.
It was written and composed by Ferro, Ivano Fossati and Billy Mann for Ferro's fourth studio album, Alla mia età (2008), and released as the album's third single in February 2009 (see 2009 in music) throughout Europe.

In Italy "Indietro" was released, the Italian version of "Breathe Gentle".
Music video
The music video for the song was shot at Lake Garda, directed by Gaetano Morbioli and its content is similar to that of James Bond movies. In the video, Ferro and Rowland are two thieves living a dangerous love story. In the end, they are close to getting caught by the police after a heist apparently staged to steal a valuable diamond, but they manage to fly away together successfully in a helicopter.
