His 2013 song, "Gecko", caught the attention of fellow Dutch DJ Tiësto, who signed him to his label, Musical Freedom, and released the track with vocals from British singer Becky Hill on June 23, 2014. Heldens also has a weekly podcast titled Heldeep Radio, which has been ongoing for over 2 years.
In 2015, he began producing bass house songs under the alias HI-LO, which comes from 'Oli H' in reversed form. Under his alias, Heldens produced three singles titled "Crank It Up", "Renegade Mastah" and "Wappy Flirt", releasing the latter two on his label Heldeep Records.
Deja Vu
Oliver Heldens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchin' you move me in silence
The touch of an angel
I'm too afraid to open my eyelids
All those nights I spent dreamin' about this
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Felt so real, I thought that it was true
(Thought it was true)
Lyin' here right next to you (ah, ah, aah)
All I get is déjà vu (ah, ah, aah)
Tell me that you feel it too (all I get is déjà vu)
déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
Pull me in closer
I let your hands do the talkin'
Kissin' me so good
You better pinch me
So I keep on fallin'
All those nights I spent dreamin' about this
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Felt so real, I thought that it was true
(Thought it was true)
All I get is déjà vu (ah, ah, aah)
Lyin' here right next to you (ah, ah, aah)
All I get is déjà vu (ah, ah, aah)
Tell me that you feel it too (all I get is déjà vu)
déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
(Ah, ah, aah) déjà vu
All I need is your L-O-V-E
All I need is your L-O-V-E (all I need)
All I need is your L-O-V-E
All I need is your L-O-V-E
All I need is your L-O-V-E (all I need)
All I need is your L-O-V-E (all I need)
All I need is your L-O-V-E (all I need)
All I need is your déjà vu

Déjà vu
The lyrics to Oliver Heldens' "Déjà Vu" depict a situation where the singer is with someone they love and desires, but feels a sense of familiarity that cannot be fully explained. They reminisce on the nights spent dreaming about the person in question, which ultimately creates a feeling of timelessness. Despite the intensity of the moment, the singer feels a sense of déjà vu, as if they have experienced the same situation before. The title, therefore, is fitting as it mirrors the singer's perception of a cyclical, repetitive experience.
While the song's lyrics are relatively straightforward, it alludes to a more profound theme that is a staple in Oliver Heldens' music. Heldens' music often focuses on the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the emotions that come with them. In this particular song, the singer's internal battle is between their love and desire for the person they're with and the familiarity that causes a sense of cyclicality and uncertainty about the future.

Love on the table
The feeling of love is present in this moment
Watchin' you move me in silence
The way you move is having an impact on me without words
The touch of an angel
The touch is gentle and heavenly
I'm too afraid to open my eyelids
The fear of the moment not being real is holding me back
All those nights I spent dreamin' about this
This idea of love has been on my mind for a while
Felt so real, I thought that it was true
The love and experience feels authentic and genuine
All I get is déjà vu (ah, ah, aah)
The experience feels familiar and like it's happened before
Lyin' here right next to you (ah, ah, aah)
Being close to you in this moment is very intimate
Tell me that you feel it too (all I get is déjà vu)
I'm hoping you're having a similar feeling and experience
Pull me in closer
I want to be even more close and intimate with you
I let your hands do the talkin'
Your actions are telling me what I need to hear
Kissin' me so good
The way you kiss is making me feel very good
You better pinch me
This moment feels too good to be true
All I need is your L-O-V-E
All I require is your affection and love
All I need is your déjà vu
All I want is for this moment to keep happening

Your new track somehow puts me into kinda winter party mood.
I love that groove in the melody and the vocals probably couldn't have been done better than with Anabel!
