David Archuleta released a new “tribute video” for his latest single on Thursday that features scenes from around the world of medical workers and individuals dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

“Just Breathe” is the latest single to be released off Archuleta’s upcoming album “Therapy Sessions.”

“I felt compelled to put together a visual for ‘Just Breathe,’ despite being on lockdown with the rest of the world,” Archuleta wrote on Twitter on Thursday. “I filmed my parts responsibly in quarantine & we were able to edit together a simple, but moving piece with the help of some footage from friends around the world.”

The video begins with images of empty streets from around the world and “closed” signs being placed in shop windows, before beginning to show images of medical workers and other individuals around the world, all wearing masks.

Archuleta is donating all of the proceeds from views of the video to the organization Direct Relief for COVID-19 relief efforts.

“As we all get through these hard times I also hope it can help you to ‘just breathe’ and feel some peace of mind,” Archuleta wrote of the video on Twitter.

Earlier this month, Archuleta contributed to Direct Relief by performing a live-streamed concert for Billboard’s Live From Home concert series to raise money for coronavirus relief.

Archuleta’s new album “Therapy Sessions” is set to be released on May 20.
