While your music is on the timeline, select all of it...

Edit > Select > All.

Then apply any of the volume control filters; Normalize, Amplify, Compressors, etc.

They will all change the volume and it's up to you to know what you want to do with your song because they all work a little different.

Then Export to make a new sound file. Audacity Save will not make a sound file.
