Lets breathe

AIRSOUT

Think of what a choir director might call out before the singers take a deep breath.

"Lets breathe" is a playful hint where "lets" means to allow or rent out, like in "letting a room." Here, it’s a pun—"lets" sounds like "let’s" (short for "let us"), but the clue treats it as the verb "lets," suggesting something being released. The answer "AIRSOUT" combines "air" (what we breathe) with "out" (released), giving the idea of exhaling or "letting out" air. The wordplay hinges on interpreting "lets" as a command to release rather than a contraction.
