REVIEW : Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath

My current addiction. I love the beat, I love the music video. 

This empowering mid-tempo pop song is written by Billy Steinberg and Toby Gad. The song is about a woman who finally realize that her relationship with her man is over and she would never go back to time they both had.

"If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath"

The lyrics also speaks up that the woman is really determined to left the man after all the heartache that she'd been through.

"You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left"

The emotions of the song (heartache) was portrayed well by Scherzinger, glancing in the mirror, self-reflection, and wandering in an old house.

The music video begins with Scherzinger sitting in the back of a London hackney carriage. As the rain pours outside and raindrops cover the windows, Scherzinger sings the first verse while changing her clothes.

She stares longingly out of the carriage's window, watching the rain outside. 

During the chorus, there are two main scenes. In the first she is seen wrapped in blanket while in the second she walks across room of an old house and most of the furniture is covered in plastic wrap. 

She stares resentfully at her surroundings while crossing the room. 

In the song's second verse, Scherzinger stands in front of a mirror in the bathroom of the house where she has a moment of realisation. The sink overflows as she scornfully looks in the mirror, relating to the lyrics of the song. 

She is then walk towards the camera, through a hallway of the house. It is a confident independent walk towards the audience with lights flashing rhythmically behind her. 

The bridge sees Scherzinger sat in one the house's empty rooms, in an old armchair and intersects some of the earlier carriage and bathroom scenes. As she sings the lyric "The screen fades to black", the blanket seen earlier on falls in front of the camera revealing a close up shot of Scherzinger's face. Her hair flows in the wind and she finally gets up from the armchair to stand in front of the room's open windows. 

In the final scene she stands confidently in front of the window as wind and light flood the room. She sings the final verse of the song, looking directly at the camera and smiling for the first time in the video.
