Amidst the wait for Addison Rae's new album, "Addison," the rising star has released one final single, "Fame is a Gun".

The tiktok celebrity turned pop star has riled up a lot of excitement for her first, self titled album, leaving her fans and the internet wondering if she will top the charts and become the next pop princess of the year. Rae skyrocketed in the charts earlier this year with her release of "Diet Pepsi," which now has over 350 million streams on Spotify. With her edgy but 2000s girl-pop sound, it's no wonder that she has been so popular among young audiences. Without any doubt, Addison is bringing the early 2000s back, and we are all eagerly awaiting to see if the album lives up to the hype.

Onto the focus of this article - the last single leading up to the album release. "Fame is a Gun" is a fun, pop anthem with a deeper statement about the price of fame and being in the public eye. 2024 and 2025 are the years where sad lyrics have been combined with electo-pop with strong beats to make absolutely viral hits (and yes, this is a reference to brat). And for Addison, it definitely works. As someone who has been in the public eye for quite some time now, this song is one that not only fits her brand, but gives a deeper look into her life.

"Fame is a gun and I point it blind (Blind)

Crash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dry (Dry)

You got a front row seat and I

I got a taste of the glamorous life (Life)"

As long as millions of people look to the new pop princess and watch her every move, Addison will be writing about her personal experiences. The highs and lows of internet fame, the constant criticism, and living under a microscope are topics that are touched on during this song. Everyone has a front row seat to her life, and anyone can watch her crash, burn, or face consequences, but you never truly know unless you are the one living the glamorous life.

"There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history"

The determination of Rae following this bold, new release is clear : she is ready to rebrand herself with this album. As we all await the release, we can only imagine how the charts are going to eat up the future headliner.
