Music on my MacBook Air 2019

So I'm trying to set up my new MacBook, but I can't seem to play my iTunes Music. Every time I open a song to play a message pops up saying I can't play anything because I haven't authorized it yet. However, I cannot find where I can authorize it. I have unauthorized my other 2 computers, but am still unable to find where I can authorize this current laptop.

yes, but seeing as my MacBook Air is 2019 it doesn't have the top bar on the Music app that makes authorizing easy.
