"Learning to Breathe" is the third single from the re-release of Nerina Pallot's album "Fires"; overall it is the album's fifth single release. The release date was postponed from New Year's Day to the following week, and was promoted by performances on such TV programmes as GMTV and BBC 1's "The Heaven and Earth Show".

The single entered at number twenty-eight on the Official UK Airplay Chart, and one week later it charted at number seventy on the Official UK Singles Chart. Low download sales contributed to this position, as the single entered at number nineteen on the Official UK Physical CD Chart. "Learning to Breathe" spent just one week inside the top seventy-five.

Video

The video for "Learning to Breathe" was directed by Lee Lennox.

In the video Pallot is seated playing the guitar and singing at a hall. Behind where she is playing, there are pictures; the camera goes inside of one of them, in which there are various animated characters (some of which are also featured in the album's cover booklet, which Pallot designed herself). The characters sing and play together during the video, then Pallot is seated in a swing tied to a stone, singing and looking at the moon. The video finishes just as it began.
