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.
Turn Me On
Oliver Heldens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living life all wrong
'Cause I thought I knew what love was
But my heart, it was made of stone
I was out there seeking after hours
For money, looks and power
But all that glows ain't always gold
And just give me some love
'Cause I'm running out of that feeling
Doctor, prescribe me that drug
'Cause I need some more of your healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
You know just what I need
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Living life in darkness
This fight is full of nonsense
Trying to navigate through my mistakes
But ever since I met someone who taught me
T hat love is like a party
I can never dim the lights again
And just give me some love
'Cause I'm running out of that feeling
Doctor, prescribe me that drug
'Cause I need some more of your healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
You know just what I need
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
And just give me some love
'Cause I'm running out of that feeling
Doctor, prescribe me that drug
'Cause I need some more of your healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Healing
You know just what I need
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
Dr. Love
You know just what I need
Dr. Love
The song "Turn Me On" by Oliver Heldens & Chocolate Puma featuring vocals by Chet Faker is about the experience of living life without truly understanding the meaning of love. The singer reflects on the misguided priorities and actions that have led them to feel empty and seeking for a cure. They realize that they need love, which is like a healing drug prescribed by Dr. Love. The song explores the transformative power of love and the crucial role it plays in a person's life.
The first verse of the song speaks about the singer's futile attempts to find love and fulfillment in the wrong places. They mention seeking after money, looks, and power, thinking that they knew what love was but realizing their heart was made of stone. The second verse talks about the singer's journey of self-discovery and how they met someone who taught them the true meaning of love. They describe love as a party that they could never dim the lights on and how it has transformed their life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "turn me on" which has a dual meaning in the song. On one hand, it refers to the need for more love, which acts as a healing treatment prescribed by Dr. Love, and on the other hand, it implies the desire to be physically aroused. The lyrics "you know just what I need" emphasizes that Dr. Love is the person who understands the singer's emotional and physical needs and can provide them the healing they require.

Living life all wrong
I have not been living my life properly
'Cause I thought I knew what love was
I thought I understood what love was
But my heart, it was made of stone
However, I was emotionally numb
I was out there seeking after hours
I was trying to find happiness in superficial things
For money, looks and power
Such as money, looks and power
But all that glows ain't always gold
But I now realize that what seems attractive isn't always worth pursuing
And just give me some love
I need love
'Cause I'm running out of that feeling
Because I'm running low on love
Doctor, prescribe me that drug
Please provide me with more love
'Cause I need some more of your healing
I require your emotional healing
Baby, turn me on, turn me on
Make me feel alive
Healing
I require emotional recovery
You know just what I need
You understand my emotional needs
Living life in darkness
I was living a bleak existence
This fight is full of nonsense
I was fighting a pointless battle
Trying to navigate through my mistakes
I was trying to move on from my past mistakes
But ever since I met someone who taught me
But since meeting someone who showed me
That love is like a party
That love is like a celebration
I can never dim the lights again
I can never let my emotions fade away again
Dr. Love
You are the person who taught me these things
And just give me some love
I need love
'Cause I'm running out of that feeling
Because I'm running low on love
Doctor, prescribe me that drug
Please provide me with more love
'Cause I need some more of your healing
I require your emotional healing
Dr. Love
You are the person who taught me these things
You know just what I need
You understand my emotional needs

I love how the baseline has it's own melody.

I haven't heard anything this good since Fire in My Soul came out. I listen to Heldeep radio religiously, and it's like everything you touch turns to gold. Keep it funky, Oliver. You are the man.

I love the addition of Yazoo in this.
This is one of those songs you need to play super loud with a huge amount of bass. A club song if you will. In which I adore.

Yazoo... that's it..... i been banging my head over this for a few weeks now... couldn't think what it was.
