Put Your Headphones on... and Listen to Addison Rae

With four new top hits in the past year with Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine, High Fashion, and her latest, Headphones On, this former TikTok star is making a name for herself in music.

People online are on both sides of the coin, some heavily criticizing her “rebrand”, others welcoming and encouraging her with open arms. Since her reintroduction to the music scene in March of 2024 with Charli XCX, on her remix of Von Dutch from her “Brat and it’s completely different but still also brat” album, fans have been by her side for over a year now.

Let’s look at her most-recent hits:

Diet Pepsi

With 23M views since August 2024, Diet Pepsi is the first song people think of when they think of Addison Rae. A month later, she joins Charli XCX and Troye Sivan onstage during their SWEAT tour at their show in Madison Square Garden.

With siren-like vocals and a Lana Del Rey visual feel, this captured audiences in a good way, starting her rebrand off right.

Aquamarine

Her second song out in November of 2024, a very similar feel to Diet Pepsi.

At 2025 Coachella, Arca brought Addison out on stage, where she sang Aquamarine. Wearing a sheer white dress, she debuts her debut album in a *cheeky* way.

High Fashion

Released on Valentine’s Day, her third song is a mix of classic Britney and efferesent Europop.

Headphones On

Her newest song as of April 18th takes fans on an Icelandic trip to the 2010s. A more R&B inspired feel entwined with emotional lyrics, Rae shows fans how to step outside and romanticise.
