From TikToker to pop princess: Addison Rae embraces freedom in new song ‘Aquamarine’

TikTok star-turned-pop sensation Addison Rae has dropped her latest single, “Aquamarine,” a dreamy, sea-inspired track following her viral hit, “Diet Pepsi.”

In Aquamarine, Rae captivates listeners with oceanic references, singing, “The world is my oyster, baby, come touch the pearl,” alongside metaphors like the "Heart of the Ocean," nodding to both Titanic and Britney Spears’ iconic “Oops!... I Did It Again.” The chorus amplifies the theme of self-discovery, with Rae proclaiming, “I’m not hiding anymore... I’m free.”
 

Rae’s music journey has quickly taken off since her debut single, “Obsessed,” in 2021 and her He’s All That film role. This year, her single "Diet Pepsi," released under Columbia Records, climbed to No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Additionally, Rae has actively supported friend Charli XCX, performing together on the Sweat Tour and joining Charli for a remix of “Von Dutch.” Now, with “Aquamarine,” Rae showcases her pop versatility and continues to solidify her position in the music industry.
