Peace of Mind is the second and final studio album by English pop band Breathe. It was released on 20 August 1990 in the United Kingdom by Siren Records,[2] and on 4 September 1990 by A&M records in the United States.[3]

Two years after the band burst onto the music scene with the hits "Hands to Heaven" and "How Can I Fall?" from their debut album All That Jazz (1987), this album brought the group back to the charts with two more hit singles. Despite their renewed success from the two hit singles, reviews were generally mixed, with some praising lead singer David Glasper's "strong, soulful voice",[4] while others dismissed the album itself as "a bit too seamless and proper to sink in deeply".[5]

Peace of Mind peaked at No. 116 on the US Billboard 200, while the singles "Say a Prayer" and "Does She Love That Man?" both reached their highest positions on the US Adult Contemporary chart at Nos. 3 and 17, respectively.[6][7][8] "Say Hello" was released as a single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 87 on the Top 100 singles chart.[9]

The song "Where Angels Fear" was later covered by American contemporary Christian artist Clay Crosse under the title "Where Angels Dare" in 1993.
