Lyrics

　愛は奇跡を信じる力よ
　孤独が魂（ココロ）閉じ込めても
　ひとりきりじゃないよとあなた
　愛を口移しに教えてあげたい

　You need a hero　傷だらけのヒーロー誰でも
　悲しみに振り向いたら　明日が見えないよ

　You need a hero I'm holding out for a hero
　'till the morning light
　He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon
　And He's gotta be larger than life
　You need a hero

• ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ uses a mirrored and differently colored version of 燃えてヒーロー's background as its background.
  • The goal is also slightly modified on the background.
• ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ is the only song removed from pop'n music 13 カーニバル.
• An unused banner for ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ can be found on the pop'n music 16 PARTY♪'s data. Like every other TV&ANIME song that was playable in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪ (with one exception), the banner doesn't show the genre.
  • This might indicate that Konami may have wanted to revive ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～, as they did with the fellow pop'n music 8 license タッチ in pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE. There are no charts or keysounds in the data though, unlike Jack and Mark Get Busy!, レッツゴー！！ライダーキック and URA STAR TREK.
