Heated Rivalry’s Original Series Soundtrack Finally Drops, Fueling the Show’s Cultural Moment

The original soundtrack for Heated Rivalry has officially arrived, giving fans long-awaited access to the music that helped turn the show into one of the most talked-about TV titles of 2025. After weeks of anticipation and nonstop playlist streaming, the Heated Rivalry Original Series Soundtrack is beginning its rollout, starting with two lead singles now available on major platforms. The release marks a major moment for the Crave series, which adapted Rachel Reid’s bestselling novels and quickly gained a devoted global following. While licensed tracks played a key role in shaping the show’s tone, the original score has become just as essential to its identity.

A Carefully Curated Soundscape

Music has been central to Heated Rivalry’s success from the start. The series blends French-language electropop, indie rock, and emotional synth-driven tracks to heighten both intimacy and tension. Needle drops from artists like Wolf Parade and t.A.T.u. became instant fan favorites, with some songs even finding their way into real-life NHL arenas during games. That thoughtful musical approach came from the collaboration between creator Jacob Tierney and music supervisor Scotty Taylor. Together, they demonstrated how strategic song placement can elevate storytelling and deepen emotional impact.

Composer Peter Peter Makes a Striking Debut

Beyond its licensed music, Heated Rivalry introduced original compositions from Peter Peter, marking his scoring debut for a television series. Personally selected by Tierney, Peter delivered a sound that balances pulsing electronic energy with deeply intimate songwriting. The first single, “Rivalry,” serves as the show’s recurring techno theme. Opening the series and reappearing throughout key moments, the track has quickly become a fan favorite for workouts and playlists alike, reflecting the competitive intensity at the heart of the story.

Fan-Favorite Track ‘It’s You’ Finally Released

The most anticipated release, however, is “It’s You.” The atmospheric and emotionally charged song plays during a pivotal early episode and has lingered in viewers’ minds ever since. Its dreamy, immersive quality has drawn comparisons to early-2000s indie-electronic classics, resonating with audiences who connected deeply to the characters’ evolving relationship. For many fans, the track represents the emotional foundation of the series, foreshadowing the deeper bond that ultimately defines the season’s arc.

Full Soundtrack Coming Later This Month

The complete Heated Rivalry Original Series Soundtrack is scheduled to be released later this month via Milan Records. The album will compile Peter Peter’s original compositions alongside the score elements that helped shape the show’s most memorable scenes. With its soundtrack now stepping into the spotlight, Heated Rivalry continues to expand its cultural footprint—proving that music, when used with intention, can be as powerful as any performance on screen.
