Lyrics
Japanese
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
Romaji
ai wa kiseki wo shinjiru chikara yo kodoku ga kokoro tojikomete mo hitori kiri ja nai yo to anata ai wo kuchiutsushi ni oshiete agetai You need a hero kizurake no HERO dare demo kanashimi ni furimuitara ashita ga mienai yo 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.
- In the pop'n music 12 いろは location test, ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ was a removed song. However, it reappeared in the final release.
- ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ was the only song removed from pop'n music 13 カーニバル.
- A unused banner for ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～ can be found in the pop'n music 16 PARTY♪ data. Like every other TV&ANIME song that was playable in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪ (with one exception), the banner does not show the genre.
- This might indicate that KONAMI wanted to revive ヒーロー ～HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO～, as they did with 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, or STAR TREK's URA charts.
