With ten original songs, including the acclaimed radio hit " Hero," the album is known for its smooth melodies and true-to-life lyrics. His latest release, Escape, is probably his most romantic album to date. Latin pop sensation Enrique Iglesias has given his fans something to talk about. Iglesias has sold over 60 million records worldwide,) has had two Billboard Hot 100 #1s and one #3, and holds the record for producing 19 number #1 Spanish language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. Before the turn of the millennium he made a crossover into the mainstream English language market, signing a unique multi-album deal with Universal Music for an unprecedented $48,000,000, with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums. Iglesias started his musical career with Mexican indie label Fonovisa, which helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Latino market in the United States, selling more Spanish language albums than any other artist in that period of time. Lyrically, the song is regarded as one of Carey's most inspirational and personal ballads, with its protagonist declaring that even though we may feel discouraged or down at times, in reality, we are "heroes" if we look inside ourselves and see our own inner strength in time, it will help us "find the way." However, after being convinced to keep it, she personalized it, giving it a more pop and R&B melody, as well as changing some of the lyrics to more precisely fit her personality. While writing the song, Carey did not connect to its style or sound, therefore forfeiting it over to the soundtrack of the film of the same name. Originally intended for Gloria Estefan, the song was written by Mariah and produced by her and Walter Afanasieff. It was released on October 19, 1993, via Columbia Records as the second single from Carey's third studio album, Music Box (1993). "Hero" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey.
