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.
The Right Song
Oliver Heldens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This anticipation
See him through the smoke
So hard to be patient
There is a clock in mind
We running out of time
Killing it goes so easily
I want his hands on me
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
Just one thing I need, I need, I need, I need
Alright, come on, lift me with the right song
I've been waiting for it all night, baby
Before they turn the lights on, yeah
Come on, lift me with the right song
Run that bass, run that bass
Through my veins
Come and take me away, take me away
Alright, come on, lift me with the right song
Come on, lift me with the right song
Don't know where this goes
I let the wind take me
Into the unknown
No more hesitating
There is a clock in mind
We running out of time
Killing it goes so easily
I want to feel him breathe
I want his hands on me
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
You know there's just one thing I need
Just one thing I need, I need, I need, I need
Yeah, alright
Come on, lift me with the right song
I've been waiting for it all night, baby
Before they turn the lights on, yeah
Come on, lift me with the right song
Run that bass, run that bass
Through my veins
Come and take me away, take me away
Alright
Come on, lift me with the right song
Come on, lift me with the right song
The right song
The right song
The right song
The lyrics to Oliver Heldens and Tiësto's song The Right Song are about the anticipation and excitement of waiting for a particular song to come on at a party or club. The singer describes feeling it "in my bones" and seeing someone "through the smoke" as they wait anxiously for the right song to play. There is a sense of urgency, with the idea that they are running out of time, but the possibility of being "lifted" and taken away by the right song is enough to make them forget their hesitations and doubts.
The repetition of "You know there's just one thing I need" emphasizes that the singer is focused on this one experience - hearing the right song - and nothing else matters. The repeated plea to be lifted by the right song, supported by the strong beat and running bass, creates a sense of urgency and excitement. The song is ultimately a celebration of the power music has to bring people together and create a sense of shared experience.

Bill listens to EDM music🎧
Bill loves the regular version of a song better than the vocal version. He thinks the vocalist doesn't go right with the song.🎤🚫
