Autumn Paige (@theautumnpaige) just shared her new EP called Down The Rabbit Hole. She invites listeners into her world, channeling raw emotion as she reflects on love, lust, loyalty, and self-worth. Effortlessly blending stripped-down R&B, chill vibes, and even country influences, the singer-songwriter showcases her vocal versatility across the project’s vibrant production. The standout quality of Down The Rabbit Hole is its relatability. Autumn Paige set out to create a project that listeners could see themselves in, and she succeeded.
Through a collection of songs that reassure others they’re not alone in their emotions or thoughts, she offers fans a sonic space for comfort and understanding. Since love, loss, confusion, and growth are inevitable, she reminds listeners that there’s always a silver lining. If the EP helps someone with self-reflection or navigate through their own emotions, she says it has served its purpose.
Although most artists tend to follow a set plan with deadlines for their albums, Down The Rabbit Hole came together naturally without a strict timeline. Autumn Paige and producer Emile took their time, recording two to three songs per session. In the end, the songs came together perfectly and conveyed what the singer was trying to get across to her listeners, creating a deeply personal story.

Autumn Paige aims to be relatable
The first single, “Topless,” is about only feeling connected to a lover when she’s naked. Set against the backdrop of an acoustic guitar, the lyrics at hand explore the differences between lust and love. She sings, “He should be touching where my heart is.”
“Topless” calls out men who only thirst after her. Moreso she emphasizes her desire for a partner who values her beyond her physical appearance. “He only wants me when I’m topless,” she croons, making it clear that real love should be more than skin deep. The second song “Baggage” finds the artist reflecting on a previous relationship that severed her trust. The betrayal from her former flame has prevented the singer from giving her all in relationships.
Songs such “Baggage” and “Rotation” break away from the current TikTok-driven sound. Moreover, it embraces an old-school feel that values the pure essence of music instead of clout. The aforementioned record “Rotation” seemingly samples Lucky Daye‘s “Extra” but at a slower rhythm, creating a sultry, atmospheric mood. The track is all about dating without commitment and embracing situationships. Lyrics like “I keep Tuesday open for you ‘cause Wednesday he be with me,” make it clear that attachment isn’t on the table, as she reminds her love interests, “Just ’cause we be f***ing/Doesn’t mean that we got something.” The song’s theme shows men that women can play the field as well.
“Good In Me” also stands out as a particularly bold choice on the project. Blending elements of country, rock, and pop, the song champions Autumn Paige’s versatility. From a lyrical standpoint, the song talks about loving someone despite their flaws. Despite other people’s opinions about her partner, she commits to standing by them through thick and thin. Lyrics like “I don’t care if he breaks my heart today, the good in me is gonna love him anyway,” take the narrative home.
Other mellow R&B offerings like “1 4 U” and “Room In Vegas” mirror this sentiment. In a word, the musician praises a partner who makes her feel truly understood and supported. The singles showcase Autumn Paige’s ride-or-die mindset and how she’ll always have their back if they do the same.

With Down The Rabbit Hole, Autumn Paige goes through the complexities of relationships, self-worth, and love.
