05. Addison Rae - "Diet Pepsi"
"Diet Pepsi" is just a stepping stone in Addison Rae's rise to pop stardom. The TikTok star and actress knows how to craft an amazing pop song, as she proved with her short "AR" EP last year. On "Diet Pepsi" she takes things in a new direction; instead of being inspired by Britney and Gaga, Rae channels Lana Del Rey. With breathy vocals and sensual lyrics ("Say you love, say you love, say you love me / Losing all my innocence in the back seat"), Rae delivers a surprising yet confident song that comes with a brilliant key change.
