Transcription

Composition

Rolling Stone described "Hero" as an outcast anthem, which focuses on frontman Rivers Cuomo's feelings of inadequacy.[1] The band described the song as for "the stay at home dreamers, the zoom graduators, the sourdough bakers, and the essential workers".[2] Following the style of Van Weezer's return to the band's roots in hard rock, "Hero" has been described musically as an upbeat Weezer song with heavy guitar usage.[3] Spin described it as "a dose of power pop".[4]

On July 30, the band released an alternate version of the song titled "Hero (Piano)", arranged as a piano ballad.[5]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Brendan Walter and Jasper Graham. It begins with a scene of Cuomo writing a letter, which is then seen passed along Weezer fans, accompanied with footage of the band performing the song. At the end of the video, the letter is opened to reveal a tribute to essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The video includes a cameo from the band Real Estate.[6]
