In February 1991, this song was nominated for three Grammy

Background of the song Hero

• Hero was originally written for Gwen Estefan by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff.

• While writing it Carey did not feel it was the right song for her, because the style and tempo were not her style.

• After finishing the song, she switched it up to her more pop/R&B style and she knew it was for her.

• Hero is from the album, Music Box and is one of its number one hits.

PERSONAL NOTE ON HEROHero became a very popular

song with Mariah’s fans, since most everyone requested it, she would and still always sings it

live in her concerts. I was able to see Mariah in concert in 2010, and I heard this song in person.

It was such a moving and touching song that I can still feel

the emotional of hope it made me feel.
