"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.
