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.

Set me free
Set me free
Get my feet up off the ground
Set me free
'Cause I really wanna hear that sound
Set me free
Set me free
'Cause you're the only one I want around
Set me free

Set me free
Get my feet up off the ground
Set me free
'Cause I really wanna hear that sound
Set me free
I wish I had you here right now
Set me free
'Cause you're the only one I want around
Break it down
Let it go, let it go
Break it down
Let it go, let it go now

The lyrics of Oliver Heldens & Party Pupils' song, Set Me Free, express a sense of longing and the need for release from something or someone. The repetitive phrase, "Set me free," implies that the person is trapped or held back in some way and desires to break free. The song continues on to describe this need for freedom in different ways, such as wanting to get their "feet up off the ground" and being the only one they "want around."
The lyrics also suggest that the person may be seeking a specific person's presence as a form of liberation. Lines such as "I really wanna hear that sound" and "I wish I had you here right now" imply that the person may find solace in the presence of the other person. Additionally, the repeated lines throughout the song add to its catchy and memorable nature, perhaps representing the idea that once something is released, it can be difficult to forget or go back to how things used to be.
Overall, Set Me Free expresses a desire for freedom, both physically and emotionally, and suggests that another person's presence may provide a sense of liberation.
