The American television series Glee featured a version of the song as a mashup mixed with the Gipsy Kings' "Bamboléo". 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. Iglesias was asked to sing the song live at America: A Tribute to Heroes. 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. To the date the single has sold over 8 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling singles of all time.
Interscope Records released the song on 3 September 2001 to a positive critical and commercial reception. It was written by Iglesias, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor.
