In Episode 4 of HBO’s Heated Rivalry, titled “Rose,” a charged club sequence captures the simmering tension between hockey adversaries Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander (Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams). While dancing with other partners, the two men keep stealing glances at one another, unable to mask the feelings they are struggling to hide. The moment is underscored by a perfectly chosen needledrop, a cover of t.A.T.u.’s 2002 hit “All the Things She Said” by British producer Harrison.
The scene has since given the song a modest resurgence, with fans of the show using it in posts and Reels about Heated Rivalry, though both the track and its creators carry a complicated legacy.
