Headphones On

[Intro] Put your headphones on [Chorus] Guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I still get dolled up Guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I [Post-Chorus] So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on) Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song) Soaking up the rain (Ah) Letting my hair down (Uh-huh) So I put my headphones on Come and put your headphones on [Verse] Wish my mom and dad could've been in lovе Guess some things aren't mеant to last forever I compare my life to the new it girl Jealousy's a rip tide, it pulls me under [Pre-Chorus] You can't fix what has already been broken You just have to surrender to the moment [Chorus] I guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I still get dolled up Guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I [Post-Chorus] So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on) Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song) Soaking up the rain (Ah) Letting my hair down (Uh-huh) So I put my headphones on Come and put your headphones on Listen to my favorite song [Bridge] I know the lows are what makes the highs higher So I tell myself this is a reminder Life's no fun through clear waters [Pre-Chorus] You can't fix what has already been broken You just have to surrender to the moment [Chorus] Guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I still get dolled up Guess I gotta accept the pain Need a cigarette to make me feel better Every good thing comes my way So I [Post-Chorus] So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on) Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song) Soaking up the rain (Ah) Letting my hair down (Uh-huh) So I put my headphones on [Outro] Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off You know I can't get enough Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off You know I can't get enough Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off You know I can't get enough Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off 'Til the wheels fall off SONG MEANING “Headphones On” is a dreamy, introspective pop track that captures the feeling of emotional escape through music. In the song, Addison Rae uses the act of putting on headphones as a metaphor for tuning out the chaos of the world and retreating into her own space where she feels safe, understood, and in control. The lyrics express a desire to disconnect from external judgment, pressure, or heartbreak, suggesting that music becomes her therapy and sanctuary. It’s both a celebration of personal solitude and a quiet rebellion against overwhelming noise—both literal and emotional. The song’s soft production and ethereal tone reflect its theme of finding calm in the storm, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who turns to music for comfort and clarity.
