Since Passions' debut on July 5th, viewers have been anxious to learn more about the show's theme song. The song is called "Breathe" and it was co-written by singer-songwriter, Jane French and composer, John Henry. Jane French also sings the catchy song.

Jane French and John Henry began working together in late 1998 on material for her first CD. According to Jane, "When John got the call to score Passions he called me to suggest I think about writing a theme song…The title Passions is vivid and evokes multiple images; somehow it made me think of the very act of breathing. There's the kind of passion that takes your breath away; there's being so passionately involved you lose your breath; anger, surprise, suspense…all these human emotions are tied to breathing. I was delighted they chose the song, and even more so that the producers decided to start the very first episode with a montage that featured the song. And by the way, the footage in that montage was breathtaking!" Jane says.

Unfortunately, "Breathe" is not available for purchase at this time, so keep watching Passions to get your fill of this beautiful song!
