"My Breathing" comes from Strange Charm, Gary Numan's eighth solo studio album, released in October 1986 as the third record on his own Numa label. He made it at Rock City, his studio in Shepperton, and went at it differently from the albums before it, writing the material in the studio itself and pulling in collaborators, with the PPG Wave synthesizer and sampling pushed to the front of the album.
Numan wrote "My Breathing" alone, words and music, and produced it with Ade Orange, while Tim Summerhayes engineered. The album took its time crossing the Atlantic: it didn't come out in the US until 1999, when Cleopatra issued it remastered with bonus tracks.
