Saxe released the singles "Same Room" and "Women Who Look Like You" between June and August 2019. He released "If the World Was Ending" featuring Julia Michaels as the lead single from his second EP. He released "Sad Corny Fuck" as the second single from his second EP, in February 2020. He released his second EP, Hold It Together, on February 7, 2020. It peaked at number 53 on the Canadian Albums Chart. He features on Lennon Stella's single "Golf on TV".
In April 2020, Saxe and Michaels re-released "If the World Was Ending" with other artists including Sam Smith, H.E.R., Alessia Cara, Sabrina Carpenter, Niall Horan, Keith Urban and Finneas O'Connell, who produced the song. Each artist filmed their part on their phones from their homes while self-isolating and features on the music video. Saxe explained that the collaboration was inspired by covers of the song he saw online, and he then texted the featured artists to ask if they'd want to get involved. All proceeds benefit Doctors Without Borders, where one of Saxe's friends worked, and the video ends with a special message from a participating doctor about the impact of COVID-19 on countries where many of the doctors are stationed. In a statement, Saxe and Michaels said, "We are so grateful for the incredible work being done by those on the frontlines during this global pandemic. At a time when it can sometimes feel like 'the world is ending', we thank all of the healthcare workers, first responders, and essential workers who are helping so many people in need. Please stay home, stay safe (and don't actually go over!)"{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jp-saxe-julia-michaels-if-the-world-was-ending-cover-987509/|title=JP Saxe, Julia Michaels Recruit Stars for 'If the World Was Ending'|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=April 30, 2020|access-date=May 4, 2020}}
