In 2024, Addison Rae signed with Colombia Records, and in August of the same year, she released her single Diet Pepsi. The song went viral online and peaked at number 54 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it her first entry on the chart.

In an interview with British Vogue in 2024, Rae shared that the song was initially supposed to be titled Backseat, as she repeated the word more than Diet Pepsi. However, Charli XCX told her Diet Pepsi was more suitable. Calling Charli her "big sister in the industry," she said,

"Initially, the song was called Backseat, and I say that in the song a lot more than I say Diet Pepsi. But that weekend, we went to the Boiler Room for Charli’s set, and I played it for her, and she told me I should call it Diet Pepsi. I trust Charli. She’s always been so real to me and the best big sister in the industry."

In the same interview, Rae also discussed her TikTok journey, noting that she didn't expect much at first. She shared that she was very creative as a kid, which is why she opened her TikTok account.

"When I started on TikTok, I didn’t plan on anything specific happening. I had always had the same dream since I was a little kid, which was to create things. I want to act, I want to sing, I want to dance, I want to perform, I just want to entertain."
