From ‘Heated Rivalry’ to Montreal: Harrison brings viral remix to Le Belmont

“I figured that it made sense to kind of give the fans what they want,” says DJ and producer Harrison, who is bringing his heated tour to Canada, with a stop at Le Belmont in Montreal on Thursday night. Adriana Gentile reports.

A song that defined a moment in Heated Rivalry is now making its way to the dance floor in Montreal.

U.K. DJ and producer Harrison will perform at Le Belmont on Thursday night as part of his HARRISON “HEATED” tour, bringing with him the viral remix of All the Things She Said — a track that surged in popularity after being featured in the hit series.

“I never expected it,” Harrison said. “It became the most viral song in the world — number one in Canada, number one in America. And yeah, it just keeps getting bigger all the time.”

From television moment to global momentum

The remix, originally released in 2022, found a new audience after it was selected for a pivotal club scene in Heated Rivalry. Harrison said the opportunity came directly from the show’s director, who reached out to include the track.

“The way that it got into Heated Rivalry was because Jacob, the director of Heated Rivalry, contacted me and asked whether I could use my song in one of his dance scenes for a Canadian hockey show,” he said. “So obviously, I said yes. And he kind of explained that it was going to go into the club scene.”

At the time, Harrison said he didn’t realize how central the song would become to the moment.

“He never really explained how important it would be in the scene or what it would mean. So when I was watching it for the first time, I was kind of watching it like everybody else.”

Harrison’s connection to dance music goes back to his teenage years. He recalled writing his first song at 18 with David Guetta, which by chance became a big dance anthem and helped introduce him to the industry. “Ever since then, I’ve just been in love with dance music,” he said, noting that he’s continued producing as many tracks and remixes as possible.


A scene that struck a chord

The now well-known sequence begins with the original version of the song by t.A.T.u. before blending into Harrison’s remix, underscoring a tense exchange between the show’s central characters, Shane and Ilya, as they share lingering glances on a crowded dance floor with other partners.

For Harrison, the track carried a sense of familiarity long before it became a viral hit.

“I always loved it,” he said. “It was something that stuck in my head from a child, I guess, watching it on MTV, watching the music video and that kind of thing. I never really realized it was going to be as big as it became.”

He added that the decision to remix the song felt instinctive.

“Something was always telling me, ‘You’ve got to do the song. You’ve got to do the song.’ Thank goodness that I did.”

Fans around the world quickly embraced it. “I saw all of the other parties that were being done every day,” Harrison said. “There’s a lot of Heated Rivalry parties around the world, and they were all using my song on the screen and dancing to it.”


Turning viral success into a live experience

The renewed attention helped introduce Harrison’s broader catalogue to new listeners — something he is now bringing to audiences across Canada through his tour.

“I figured that it made sense to kind of give the fans what they want,” he said. “Let them dance for real, and let them be Shane and Ilya in real life.”

While the show nods to Heated Rivalry, Harrison said it is really about showcasing his full body of work.

“Obviously, it’s a Harrison show. It’s my full back catalog of music and everything I’ve been working on for the last 15 years,” he said. “I wanted to make a Harrison show with a nod to Heated Rivalry, but also show that my music is bigger than just that moment. A lot of people became Harrison fans through the other tracks.”

Montreal stop part of cross-country run

Thursday’s Montreal performance is one of several stops on his Canadian tour, following an earlier show and leading into additional dates across the country.

Harrison said he’s looking forward to bringing the experience to the city and connecting with fans in person.

“You can stand at Le Belmont and watch a full Harrison Heated show and experience it for real,” he said. “I’m very excited to be in Montreal… if you want to come, come and join it.”

Harrison is also using the tour to introduce new music. He recently collaborated with The Veronicas on a re-recorded version of their song Untouched, which he will debut on the tour. “It’s going to come out next month, I will be playing it,” he said.

A shared moment for fans

As the tour continues, Harrison said the goal is to recreate the feeling that made the song resonate in the first place — this time, in a live setting.

“We’ll have a great energy, and it’s going to be a very special place full of like-minded people.”

For fans of Heated Rivalry and newcomers alike, Thursday’s show offers a chance to step into that world — not on screen, but on the dance floor.
