"Diet Pepsi" is a song by American singer and songwriter Addison Rae. It was released on August 9, 2024, through Columbia Records, as her major label debut single, marking also her first single release in three years since "Obsessed" (2021).[4] "Diet Pepsi" received positive reviews unlike the former, and charted in several countries worldwide. According to Nylon, the song is about "the immortal feeling of being young and in love."[5]

"Diet Pepsi" emerged as Rae's early breakthrough, peaking at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Diet Pepsi" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Ireland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top 20 of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.[6]

Background

Rae shared first hints of new music in June 2024 through her social media. The singer got more specific in early August 2024 by posting snippets and lyrics of the song.[7] On August 5, she revealed the release date and title for her debut single with Columbia Records.[8]

Reception

The song received positive reviews from both critics and listeners, who praised Rae for her successful shift from her previous bubblegum pop lyrics and sonic direction to a more mature sound.[9] Billboard described the song as a "turning point" in Rae's artistic journey as it creates more of a clear vision on who Rae is as an artist, opposed to previous projects.[1]

American singer Camila Cabello praised the song, and covered it on Live Lounge for BBC Radio 1 in the United Kingdom, stating that she wishes she wrote the song herself.[10]

Commercial performance

The song peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was her first song to debut on the chart.[11] The song also became a viral sound on TikTok.[11]

In the United Kingdom, "Diet Pepsi" peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Rae's first top ten hit in Britain.[12]

Music video

The official music video was released alongside the song on August 9, 2024, and was directed by Sean Price Williams. The video opens with Rae teasing her next single "Aquamarine" and continues with her having fun in a car in her bra and underwear, alongside her male love interest portrayed by Drew Van Acker. Much of the video pays homage to the 1965 cult classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, including the video's title card, Rae's dancing, and filming in black and white. Rae named Bruce Conner's 1966 experimental film Breakaway as another reference for the video.[13] Mel Ottenberg served as the video's creative director.[14]
