    Album: Femme Fatale

    It's hard to tell whether this is a satisfied "ahhhh" like she was thirsty and just took a drink of water or a long, sexy breath.

    8. How I Roll

    Album: Femme Fatale

    These breathing sounds don't rank high because while the song is playful and talks about kitty cats, the breaths are a little reminiscent of someone struggling for air.

    7. Piece Of Me

    Album: Blackout

    The breathy "oys" in the chorus serve as the perfect punctuation for the weird jingle jangle sound effects throughout.

    6. Breathe on Me

    Album: In The Zone

    While being a little too on the nose, if you want breathing, this song's for you.

    5. Me Against The Music

    It's unclear whether or not this breathing comes from Britney, Madonna, or someone else, but there sure is a lot of it. Bonus: Britney does do one big super breath at the very beginning.

    4. Circus

    This subtle, tasteful panting goes on throughout the chorus to remind us all that circus performers work hard and breathe hard.

    3. Gimme More

    Album: Blackout

    This song has a lot of general sexy breathing, but the sexiest breathing comes during a little spoken monologue in the middle.

    2. Boys

    Album: Britney

    Aside from saying "Get nasty" a hell of a lot of times, this song is peppered with all kinds of breathing sounds. They are pretty much a constant fixture in the background and then Pharrell tops it off with some nice "Ahhhhs."

    1. I'm A Slave 4 U

    Vevo / Via youtube.com

    Album: Britney

    Easily the most iconic Britney Spears breathing sequence of all time, showcased by the video's inexplicable pile of clothed writhing people. It was the first Britney single that made everyone stop and say "Wait a minute... this is sexual." And the heavy breathing really took it to Sex Town.
