"Breathless" is a song by Irish pop rock group The Corrs. It was released on 18 July 2000, as the first single taken from their third studio album ''In Blue'' (2000). "Breathless" was co-written and produced by famed music producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who produced for Shania Twain, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard, among others. "Breathless" is a pop and pop rock song, with lyrics about seduction and how when you're falling in love, you're just enticing that person to go one step further. It received mixed reviews from music critics; some called it sexy and a hit, but others felt it was weak. A music video was filmed on the Mojave Desert and was directed by Nigel Dick. It is considered their signature hit after topping the charts around the world. The song scaled the charts all over the world, including hitting number 1 in Spain and the UK—their only British chart-topper to date. It also went top ten in Australia and No. 34 in the United States in March 2001, giving the Corrs their only US Top 40 hit. The single was the 33rd biggest-selling in the UK in 2000. In 2001 the song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The song was on the soundtrack of Brazilian soap opera "Uga Uga". It was also featured in the opening scene of the film ''The Wedding Date'', starring Debra Messing; and in a Sopranos episode, named "Another Toothpick". == Background and release == "Breathless" was released as "In Blue"'s first single on 18 July 2000.

"Breathless" is a pop and pop rock song, with lyrics of a woman desiring lifelong love. Speaking of working with "Mutt" Lange, Andrea said: "We happened to meet up (Lange ), and we both liked what each other does, so we decided to try and write a song together. So we did, and the first song we wrote together was 'Breathless.'" "It was a beautiful, sunny day when we wrote it," she continued, "and I think that's very much in the song, because it's kind of high impact and driven and sunny and summery and it's a love song. It's about seduction and how when you're falling in love, you're just enticing that person to go one step further. It's good, good fun."〔 An acoustic version was made for their 2002 live album, "VH1 Presents: The Corrs, Live in Dublin". The song was also included on their two compilation albums, "Best of The Corrs" and "Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/breathless-mt0031613011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Breathless (The Corrs song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
