If youāre looking for a cheeky new song to add to your empowering āhot girlā playlist, youāre in luck. On Oct. 25, Addison Rae released her new single āAquamarineā ā and yes, it’s as exhilarating and ethereal as it sounds. Her song invites listeners to join in her journey of self-empowerment and encourages listeners to take control with her in the depths of the deep blue sea (which, if you think about it, is just like life). So, what do Addison Raeās āAquamarineā lyrics mean? Hereās the breakdown.
Gen Zās newest pop-princess starts off the song with a bang. āThe world is my oyster, baby, come touch the pearl,ā Rae sings in the first verse. āThe world is my oyster, and, Iām the only girl,ā she continues. A hint to her newfound confidence, she uses enticing (and even flirtatious) wordplay on the ocean that entrances listeners into her alluring and dangerous new persona. (I mean, āpearlā is clearly a reference to her clitoris, here.) And, in this respect, the song becomes not just about empowerment, but about female empowerment.Ā
Rae then goes on to sing, āIām transforming and realigning, Iāll take you with me high, high, high.” Surfing two waves with one board (get it?), she references her newfound confidence while comparing it to the high of the female orgasm. Soā¦if you didnāt know what a āsiren songā was before, you sure do now.
Because, of course, it wouldnāt be an Addison Rae song without some seductive lyrics. āAquamarine, honey, dive into me,ā she gleams in her captivating chorus, which is an invitation to her lover to connect with her on a deeper level (if youāre catching my drift). Iām getting hot just writing about these lyrics.
The overall message of āAquamarine,ā however, revolves around her new sense of liberation in self-empowerment and self-confidence.Ā āIām not hiding anymore, I wonāt hide,ā she sings. āIām free,ā she powerfully declares.Ā
Her lyrics reveal that Raeās new sense of liberation has everyone on their knees, crawling (or swimming) towards her. As I would say, she is attracting and not chasing, because everything that is meant to come to her will find her. (This song has me feeling philosophical apparently.) And, as someone who has been wearing the Aquamarine birthstone since I had my ears first pierced, I know a thing or two about its symbol of rebirth, trust, and power.Ā
And, if youāre a Britney Spears fan like Rae, you may have noticed a similarity in lyrics between her āGimme Moreā and Raeās āAquamarine.” Spears repeatedly sings the line, āGimme, gimme, more,ā in her chorus, while Rae repeatedly sings, āGive me more,ā in her bridge. The two songs emphasize the undeniable power that a woman can (and should) hold. Rae took a page out of her idolās book by embodying Spearsās confidence (Iām not crying, you are).Ā
āAquamarineā is Raeās second single of the year, following the success of her just-as-cheekyĀ āDiet Pepsi.ā Fans hope that these two releases will be part of a soon-to-come, unannounced album. And Iām on board with them!Ā
