Audriix (pronounced Audrey) says, "“None of my songs portray the woman as the victim, it’s all about being strong and standing up for yourself. I hope that listeners come away feeling empowered to do whatever they set their minds to.”
She writes:
Deep Breaths is an empowerment song drawn from my personal experiences. It's about standing up for yourself when someone tries to oppress you and unapologetically feeling your emotions. I hope it inspires anyone listening to be strong and be yourself, despite anyone who tries to bring you down.
This was a very fun video to conceptualize and edit, but also definitely the most challenging music video I have ever filmed. We filmed during the terrible California wildfires (the smoke in the background is real) and everyone on set got to wear a mask except me of course so the air quality was tricky. Filming and singing underwater was a very interesting challenge. And getting drenched in freezing cold water at 11pm for the rain scene while trying not to shiver was quite the experience!
