Canadian singer/songwriter Victoria Anthony invites you to believe in yourself on her track, "Breathe Underwater." She performs the song, featured on her 2020 debut album, Real Life, on the latest episode of Press Play At Home.

The powerful lyrics to "Breathe Underwater" are about reclaiming your power and feeling validated in your own strength and worth, Anthony says; she likens the feeling to breathing underwater. Justin Gray, who also produced the track, Jessica Karpov and Anthony herself penned the song in just three hours. 

The track's uplifting theme is in line with the rest of Real Life—a collection of songs showing Anthony's optimistic view on life and desire to live an emotionally rich life.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, with so much of our everyday lives upended, many of us had to find new ways to entertain ourselves and process everything that was happening. For artists like 5 Seconds of Summer lead singer Luke Hemmings, songwriting was a natural outlet.

While the Australian pop singer/songwriter didn't originally plan to make his debut solo album during the COVID lockdown, that's exactly what happened. With support from songwriter and producer Sammy Witte, as well as Hemmings' fiancé, songwriter Sierra Deaton, his creative outlet during the pandemic became When Facing The Things We Turn Away From, released in August.

In the latest edition of Press Play At Home, embrace the last moments of summer as Hemmings performs "Baby Blue," one of the album's tracks he co-wrote with Deaton.

True love can feel hypnotic. On the latest episode of the Press Play At Home performance series, alternative-pop band The Marías perfectly capture the mesmeric feeling of love with their warm performance of "Un Millón."

Serving as a love letter to lead singer María Zardoya's birthplace, Puerto Rico, "Un Millón" allows her to sweep the listener off their feet by pairing her commanding yet calm stage presence with her soothing delivery of the song's passionate lyrics.

As masterful as the song may sound, "Un Millón" almost didn't make it onto the Marías' recently released debut album, CINEMA, and serves as the alternative-pop band's introduction into reggaeton-inspired music.

"This is the first reggaeton-inspired track that we created," María tells GRAMMY.com. "I grew up listening to reggaeton, and we were curious to see what it would sound like if we tried making a reggaeton track."
