Enrique Iglesias Hero

“Hero” is a song by Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias from his second English-language studio album Escape (2001). It was written by Iglesias, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor. Interscope Records released the song on 3 September 2001 to a positive critical and commercial reception. To the date the single has sold over 8 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling singles of all time.

After the 11 September attacks on the World Trade Center, which took place eight days after the single was released, “Hero” was one of the few songs chosen by radio DJs in New York City to be remixed with audio from police, firefighters, civilians at Ground Zero, and politicians commenting on the attacks. Iglesias was asked to sing the song live at America: A Tribute to Heroes. He had performed the song earlier at that year’s Miss Venezuela, but due to the terrorist attacks the show was not aired on television.

The American television series Glee featured a version of the song as a mashup mixed with the Gipsy Kings’ “Bamboléo”. The release from the twelfth episode (called “The Spanish Teacher”) in season 3 of the show is named “Bambolero/Hero”. The main vocals were done by Chord Overstreet (playing the character Sam Evans). An Italian version of this song was covered by Micheal Castaldo, in his studio album Bergamot.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Let me be your hero

[Verse 1]
Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?
Would you run, and never look back?
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
Would you save my soul, tonight?
Would you tremble, if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh? Oh please, tell me this
Now would you die, for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight

[Chorus]
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

[Verse 2]
Would you swear, that you’ll always be mine
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don’t care, you’re here tonight

[Chorus]
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I just wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you
Oh, yeah
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don’t care
You’re here tonight

[Chorus]
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain (Oh yeah)
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

[Outro]
I can be your hero
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero
