His 2013 song, "Gecko", caught the attention of fellow Dutch DJ Tiรซsto, 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.
Lift Me Up
Oliver Heldens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I was only gonna stay for one
But the moment that I get your attention
I lose my head and it all comes undone
Because there's someone in your bed
It goes straight to my head
Then I lose all my sense
Don't leave me here solo
A few drinks and it makes me do things
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
When it kicks in, all the feelings start again
Made me lose my mind and now I'm back again
When it kicks in, all the feeling lights up
Few drinks and it makes me do things
I stumble out and pass your old apartment
My heavy head, it took me to your door
Emotions spinning, I can feel it starting
To take control and make me trip once more
Because there's someone in your bed
It goes straight to my head
Then I lose all my sense
You know it's hard to watch you go
Don't leave me here solo
A few drinks and it makes me do things
All because you lift me up
When it kicks in, all the feelings start again
Made me lose my mind and now I'm back again
When it kicks in, all the feeling lights up
Few drinks and it makes me do things
Lift me up
When it kicks in, all the feelings start again
Made me lose my mind and now I'm back again
When it kicks in, all the feeling lights up
Few drinks and it makes me do things
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
When it kicks in, all the feelings start again
Made me lose my mind and now I'm back again
When it kicks in, all the feeling lights up
Few drinks and it makes me do things
Lift me up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, lift me up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, lift me up
The lyrics of Lift Me Up are about someone who intends to go out for one night only but ends up losing their rationality and getting into situations that they did not plan for. The person meets someone who catches their attention, but unfortunately, there is already someone else in the romantic interest's bed. The person sings that the situation gets to their head, and they lose their sense of reason. The song is about the singer's plea to be lifted up and out of their predicament.
The first verse sets the scene for the rest of the lyrics. The individual goes out for the night with good intentions of keeping things under control. However, when they see the romantic interest, they lose their head and all bets are off. The chorus repeatedly cries out for someone to lift them up from the situation they find themselves in. The second verse continues in the same vein as the first. The person is now outside the romantic interest's apartment, and they can feel themselves being pulled back in, and once again, losing control of their emotions.
One interpretation of the song could be that it is about a person struggling with alcoholism. They go out intending to have only one drink, but when the alcohol kicks in, they lose control of themselves and end up in potentially dangerous situations. They then plead for someone to lift them up out of their addiction.

2019, the year where Future House died out a bit. I'm glad that Oliver Heldens, one of the founders of Future House, made this track going back to his older style.
