Promotion Music video The accompanying music video for "Breathing" was directed by Colin Tilley and premiered exclusively on PopCrush.com on November 3, 2011. The video begins with Derulo on the balcony of a building at night, as well as scenes of him sitting in an old chair surrounded by cobwebs inside an industrial warehouse. There are then scenes which feature Derulo standing shirtless in a dark, blue-tinted room, digitally showing the insides of his body to show the intensity of his emotion. After the first chorus, Derulo then rises out of the chair and begins to dance. During the bridge, Derulo is shown kissing his former love interest, before several female backup dancers join him to perform choreography in the final chorus. Aaron-Spencer Charles of Metro noted that the video had "some impressive footwork and a great 'straight jacket' dance move with the choreographed piece with female dancers." A reviewer for 4Music also praised Derulo's dance routines in the video. Contessa Gayles of AOL Music described the video as "creepy" and compared it to Rihanna's "Disturbia" (2008) video. Live performances and cover versions On November 6, 2011, Derulo performed "Breathing" at the Belfast City Hall in Northern Ireland, to coincide with the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. The song was part of a set list, which also included "Whatcha Say", "In My Head", "Don't Wanna Go Home" and "It Girl".
