"Breathe Easy" is a song written by Lars Halvor Jensen, Martin Michael Larsson and Lee Ryan and released by the British boy band Blue. The song was included on their third studio album, Guilty (2003). It was released as a single on 22 March 2004 in the United Kingdom and reached number four on the UK Singles Chart.

An Italian version of the song, entitled "A chi mi dice" (English: "To Those Who Tell Me"), was released as a single in France and Italy, with lyrics written by Tiziano Ferro.[1] This version topped the Italian Singles Chart for eight weeks was Italy's best-selling single of 2004. It also charted in France, where it peaked at number 15.

Critical reception[edit]

The song received mixed to positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Tiscali Music's review said of band-member and song co-writer "Lee Ryan proves to be more than just a pretty face with his co-written ballad 'Breathe Easy'", while they wrote about the song "'Breathe Easy' is a hauntingly beautiful track" and "[Blue] are fast becoming one of the biggest bands in Britain and with this majestic song they've just taken another step towards the pop summit".[2] In an album review by The Guardian's Betty Clarke, "Breathe Easy" was described as a "Westlife-ish horror".[3]
