Music critics have categorized Rae's music as dance-pop, bubblegum pop, and synth-pop. Rae is influenced by many artists including Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Sophie, Arca, and Charli XCX.{{Cite news |title= Addison Rae Is Living That Life |url=https://www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/addison-rae-is-living-that-life|access-date=October 9, 2024 |website=Interview |language=EN}} In a conversation with Interview magazine, Rae muses on her influences, "I love a woman who does it all… I love a girl that does it all with no filter, it's just ingrained in me."
Vogue notes that Rae has received attention from music fans online for her unexpectedly eclectic taste; artists like "FKA Twigs, Yves Tumor, and Kelela" appear on her playlists which stylistically "span recent avant-garde hip-hop to the cream of '00s Timbaland-produced R&B." In a trailer video for her debut self-titled album, Rae acknowledged that she is "not the same person you used to know",{{Cite web |last=Paul |first=Larisha |date=2025-05-27 |title=Addison Rae Gets Ready to Reintroduce Herself in Debut Album Trailer |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/addison-rae-debut-album-trailer-1235348591/ |access-date=2025-05-28 |website=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}} alluding to her rebrand from a social media personality to a musician.
