"The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" is a song by Garbage, released as the joint-fourth single from their platinum second album Version 2.0. The single was only released in a few European countries such as Germany, Russia and Israel. The single was released simultaneously alongside "When I Grow Up", which was issued in other European territories including the United Kingdom and Scandinavia in promotion of the band's January 1999 arena tour.

"The Trick Is To Keep Breathing" was written and recorded by Garbage (Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig) at their own recording studio during the 1997 sessions for Version 2.0. The title of the song was taken from Scottish author Janice Galloway's 1989 novel The Trick Is To Keep Breathing, now widely considered to be a contemporary Scottish classic, which was published in the United Kingdom by Vintage (UK) and in North America by Dalkey Archive Press.
