Lock up your lip gloss and hide your ring light, because Addison Rae just dropped another certified glitter bomb on our eardrums with her new single βFame Is a Gunβ β and letβs just sayβ¦ sheβs not aiming for subtlety, sheβs aiming for ICON status.
At a ripe 24 years young (which is basically 97 in influencer years), Addison is rolling out banger number five from her long-awaited, highly glamorized, probably lip-gloss-scented debut album βAddison,β which officially lands on planet Earth next Friday, June 6th β so mark your calendars with rhinestones.
And because Addison never just drops music like a normal human, sheβs giving us another cinematic masterpiece to go along with the track. Directed by Sean Price Williams (a man who clearly knows how to shoot women with expensive lighting and feral energy), the video is like if The Godfather and Euphoria had a sparkly baby and raised it on TikTok thirst traps.
In the chorus, Addison practically whispers danger in your ear:
βFame is a gun and I point it blind / Crash and burn, girl, baby, swallow it dryβ¦β
β which is either a warning, a mood, or a new cocktail. Weβre not sure, but weβre drinking it anyway. πΈ
The track was co-written with her glitter gang Luka Kloser and Elvira AnderfjΓ€rd, who also produced this pop fever dream β and the rest of the album too, because Addison is not here for a casual SoundCloud drop. She is here to dominate the pop girlie charts and maybe open her own line of emotional perfume called Gunfire & Lip Gloss.
So whether you stan her, fear her, or wish you were her, one thing is clear: Addison Rae is not just sipping from the chalice of fame β sheβs chugging it, spraying it, and bottling it for resale.
Go stream βFame Is a Gunβ on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or just scream it from your window in a sequin jumpsuit. And remember: the debut album βAddisonβ hits June 6th, and based on this rollout, itβs not an album β itβs a cultural reset.
