Addison Rae has officially announced her debut album, Addison, set to release on June 6, 2025, via Columbia Records. The album features singles like “Diet Pepsi,” “Aquamarine,” “High Fashion,” and “Headphones On.” Notably, “Diet Pepsi” achieved significant success, peaking at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a spot at No. 13 on Pitchfork’s “The 100 Best Songs of 2024” list.
Addison Rae’s track “Headphones On” from her debut album Addison dives into something many of us feel but rarely put into words so perfectly — that need to escape the noise of the world and just sink into your own vibe.
What is “Headphones On” about?
At its heart, “Headphones On” is about disconnecting to reconnect — turning the world off to tune into yourself. The song captures that feeling of putting on your headphones and letting music block out the drama, anxiety, or chaos around you.
It’s emotionally charged, but in a calm, quiet rebellion kind of way. Addison’s lyrics suggest someone who’s over it all — the fake smiles, the small talk, the pressure to always be on — and who’s finally choosing peace over performance.
