Héroe is the Spanish version of Mariah Carey's song Hero. This version was almost given to Gloria Estefan, but the version was performed by Carey and the English version was her eight #1 hit single in 1993. The Mexican, Argentinian and Spanish bonus track for Music Box brings the track. The Spanish adaptation was made by Jorge Luis Piloto.[1]

This is the first song in Spanish by Mariah Carey. The track was well received by Latin America, Spain and by Latins in the U.S. Critics thought that her pronunciation was not right but it was ok, accepting this song as a hit.
