"Fame Is a Gun" closed out the singles run for Addison, Addison Rae's 2025 debut album, arriving through Columbia in May as the fifth and last of them, and it finds Rae staring straight at her own ambition: a synth-driven alt-pop song about longing for fame and the emotional price that comes with it.
She wrote it with its producers, Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who also play the keyboards, sing the backing vocals and engineered it, and Serban Ghenea mixed. Critics loved it, and it went top 40 in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand while giving Rae her third Billboard Hot 100 entry, after "Diet Pepsi" and "Headphones On".
