"I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" is a song recorded and co-written by American country music artist Chris Cagle. It was first recorded by David Kersh on his 1998 album If I Never Stop Loving You; Kersh's version was not released as a single.[3]

Released in September 2001, his version reached Number One on the U.S. Billboard country music charts in early 2002, giving Cagle the only Number One hit of his career. It also reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100, his only Top 40 hit to date on that chart.
