Thematically, Addison is empowered by the attention she garners from her social media status. Regardless of the feedback, she will come out on top, basking in the glitz and glamour.
The song was first teased on a billboard in Shibuya, Japan. On May 27, 2025, Addison officially announced it via Instagram. The American performer previewed it the day before its release.
“Fame is a Gun” arrived with a music video directed by Sean Price Williams; interestingly enough, the intro to the video states just “Addison” without the “Rae,” adding more fuel to the artist’s rebrand.

Fame Is A Gun
Addison Rae Lyrics
Tell me who I am, do I provoke you with my tone of innocence?
Don't ask too many questions, that is my one suggestion
You know I keep it real, I live for the appeal
Knew it from the start
It was the only way to mend my broken heart
Don't ask too many questions, this is my one confession
It never was enough, I always wanted more
I always wanted more
Fame is a gun and I point it blindCrash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dry
You got a front row seat and I
I got a taste of the glamorous life
There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history
Don't ask too many questions, God gave me the permission
And when you shame me, it makes me want it more
It makes me want it more, more
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 (uh)
Love is a drug that I can't deny (deny)
I'm your dream girl, but you're not my type
You got a front row seat and I
I got a taste of the glamorous life (uh-huh)
Glamorous life
Glamorous life
Glamorous life
I got a taste for the glamorous life
Nothing makes me feel as good
As being loved by you
Nothing makes me feel as goodAs being loved by you
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 (uh)
Love is a drug that I can't deny
I'm your dream girl, but you're not my type
You got a front row seat and I
I got a taste of the glamorous life (uh-huh)
I got a taste of the glamorous life (uh-huh)
I got a taste of the glamorous life
Don't ask too many questions, that is my one suggestion
You know I keep it real, I live for the appeal
Knew it from the start
It was the only way to mend my broken heart
Don't ask too many questions, this is my one confession
It never was enough, I always wanted more
I always wanted more
Fame is a gun and I point it blindCrash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dry
You got a front row seat and I
I got a taste of the glamorous life
There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history
Don't ask too many questions, God gave me the permission
And when you shame me, it makes me want it more
It makes me want it more, more
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 (uh)
Love is a drug that I can't deny (deny)
I'm your dream girl, but you're not my type

I got a taste of the glamorous life

This video has this low budget weird 80’s fever dream horror vibe to it and I am absolutely living for it.
