"Headphones On" arrived on April 18, 2025 through Columbia, the fourth single from Addison Rae's debut album, Addison. Rae wrote it with Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, and the two co-writers also produced it, played the keyboards and sang backing vocals before Serban Ghenea mixed it. It's a glossy, after-dark blend of pop, R&B and trip hop with a new jack swing spring in its step, and the lyric treats music as her escape hatch from her own troubles.
Critics lapped it up, hearing echoes of Madonna and Britney Spears, and Pitchfork and NME both put it among the year's best songs. It gave Rae her second top-40 hit in the UK and Ireland, her second Billboard Hot 100 entry after 2024's "Diet Pepsi", and a Song of the Summer nomination at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.
