"Breathin" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on September 18, 2018, by Republic Records as the third and final single from her fourth studio album Sweetener (2018). It was sent to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States on September 18, 2018. Produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh, "Breathin" is a dance-pop and electro-R&B song that features synthesizers and an upbeat production incorporating disco and EDM elements. The song is based on Grande's experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the Manchester Arena bombing, and the lyrics describe how Grande uses breathing exercises to recover from panic attacks.

"Breathin" was critically acclaimed. Music critics called the song a highlight of Sweetener and praised it for its motivational approach to discussing anxiety. Commercially, the single reached number one in Iceland and Israel and the top forty in twenty-seven additional countries. Two music videos for the song premiered in 2018. The first features Grande's pet piglet walking on a bed, intended as a comedic prelude to the "real" music video. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the video in question depicts Grande in a train station as commuters rush past her, representing how people often feel disconnected from their surroundings during panic attacks.
