Heated Rivalry, the smash TV series and pop culture phenomenon, has brought its music to the masses with its original series soundtrack out Friday (Jan. 16).
Released via Milan Records, the 34-track project features original music by artist and composer Peter Peter written for the Crave Original Series. The set marks Peter Peter’s debut scoring effort and is available via all streaming services and as a digital download for purchase. CD and vinyl editions of the album are in the works and will be released later this year.
The buzzed-about series premiered on the Canadian streamer on Nov. 28 and bowed on the same day in the United States on HBO Max. The romantic drama is adapted from Rachel Reid’s hit Game Changers book series and stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as hockey rivals Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, who navigate a secret romance out of the public eye.
Heated Rivalry’s creator, Jacob Tierney, personally selected Peter Peter to compose the show’s music. Tierney earlier told Billboard: “From the first day I started writing the show, I knew music would be as integral to the series as the actors themselves, and Peter’s work was what I had on repeat. His original score doesn’t just sit underneath the story; it carries the emotion, the rhythm and the pulse of the show. I honestly can’t imagine this series without it. Peter’s music is completely woven into what the show is and how the story comes alive on the screen.”

“The music I composed for Heated Rivalry uncovered a side of me I wasn’t certain I possessed, yet one I had always quietly wished was there,” Peter Peter shared with Billboard. “I’d never allowed myself such latitude in composition before. Jacob and Rachel deserved the very best of me, so I gave them every ray of light I had.”
Previous to Heated Rivalry, Peter Peter had released five solo albums, most recently with 2024’s Éther.
