AR is the debut extended play by American social media personality and singer Addison Rae. It was released on August 18, 2023, through Sandlot Records.

AR is a pop and bubblegum pop record with influences of electropop, synth-pop and dance-pop, which Rolling Stone described as "plasticky, pristine pop that online audiences ironically, and then unironically, eat up." The EP was met with critical praise for its earworms, catchy hooks, and Rae's ability to channel the nostalgia of the 2000s and 2010s pop era.[2][3][4]

On Spotify, the project was ranked among the top 10 biggest opening weeks for a female EP in Spotify history with 6.6 million streams. The EP also debuted at number 19 on the US Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.[5] AR consists of four songs. Rae's debut single "Obsessed" appears as a bonus track on Spotify.[6]
