Interesting facts and trivia about Don't Hold Your Breath. By Songfacts®.

This empowering pop jam is the second single from the former Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger's debut solo album, Killer Love. The song was originally leaked as an early demo, in June 2010, featuring vocals from Timbaland and Keri Hilson. A second demo then leaked on January 13, 2011 with uncredited female vocals before Rap-Up.com posted the final single version with Scherzinger's vocals on January 14, 2011.

Toby Gad, the knob-twiddler behind hits for Beyonce, The Veronicas and Colbie Caillat, produced the song. His co-helmsman was the DJ Dave Audé, whom Scherzinger has previously collaborated with, on remixed singles for The Pussycat Dolls.

The song was penned by Billy Steinberg and his songwriting partner Josh Alexander. Steinberg has written several US #1 hits dating back to the mid-1980s, mostly with Tom Kelly composing the music. They include "Eternal Flame," "Like A Virgin" and "True Colors."
