How can i download GarageBand on my MacOS Catalina 10.15.3?

When I try to download Garageband, this pops up: GarageBand can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD - Data” because macOS version 13.5 or later is required. I don't know what else to do to fix this.

Garageband download for Big Sur? Hi there, GarageBand stopped working on my MacBook Pro (mid-2014 model, 16Gb, Mac OS Big Sur v11.7.2). An error report generated and said I should delete and reinstall Garageband. So I deleted the program, and when I went to reinstall it from the App store it said the current version of Garageband cannot be installed on my older OS. Can I download an older version of Garageband onto this MacBook? Looking at the version history it seems like I need Garageband v10.4.1 or 10.4.2 to be compatible with Big Sur (which is the last OS this age of MacBook can reach).

GB is only available for new downloads on recent OS'

You can only get it for legacy OS' if you have previously downloaded it.
