Breathe is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Faith Hill, released November 9, 1999, via Warner Bros. Nashville. The album is one of the most successful country pop albums of all time and Hill's best selling album to date, being certified certified 8× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[6]

The album became her most successful record to date, debuting atop both the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart and becoming the second most successful album of 2000 on the latter chart. Breathe additionally became a top 40 album in ten countries internationally. The album also contains her most successful singles on both the pop and country charts, the title track, and "The Way You Love Me", with the two spending ten weeks combined at number one on the Hot Country Songs chart and peaking at numbers two and six on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, with "Breathe" becoming the number one song of 2000 on the Hot 100. The album also spawned the country top ten hits "Let's Make Love" (a duet with her husband Tim McGraw) and "If My Heart Had Wings", with the former peaking at number six and the latter at number three. Several album tracks also charted solely on unsolicited airplay. The album includes a cover version of Bette Midler's 1998 song "That's How Love Moves".
