Background
In reference to the song, lead singer Joe Elliott said in the album's commentary that Breathe a Sigh is "a massive challenge for [him] to sing" and was "tried a lot of different ways [in the studio], but none of them ever seemed to do it any justice", so Def Leppard "stripped it right back"[2] The song has not been played live since the Slang World Tour in 1997.
