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.

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.
