Fans of the hit hockey romance Heated Rivalry can now stream the first two original songs from the show’s official soundtrack, giving listeners a fresh way to relive key moments from the breakout series ahead of a full album release later this month.

The tracks, composed by Canadian singer‑songwriter and producer Peter Peter, debuted at midnight and are already capturing attention online.

The first release, “Rivalry,” is an energetic instrumental techno theme that opens the series and recurs throughout several episodes, setting a pulse‑pounding tone that underscores both on‑ice competition and off‑ice tension.

The second track, “It’s You,” is a slower, dreamier original song featured in the show’s second episode; its simple lyrics and evocative melody helped cement some of the series’ most intimate moments into viewers’ memories.

Both songs were written and produced by Peter Peter, who worked closely with Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney to craft music that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of the characters’ journeys. The initial releases are intended to tide fans over while they await the full soundtrack album, which will include more original pieces alongside the themes that have become synonymous with the show’s aesthetic.

The music has already generated buzz among the series’ passionate fanbase, many of whom have been sharing reactions and playlists online. Some of the tracks’ moments in the show, especially “It’s You,” have been noted for how seamlessly the score enhances the storytelling — turning background music into a narrative force in its own right.

The full Heated Rivalry soundtrack is expected to be released later this month via Milan Records. In the meantime, “Rivalry” and “It’s You” provide an immersive sonic experience that lets fans plug back into the world of Heated Rivalry, from its ice‑rinks to its most tender scenes.
