Holding Out for a Hero是Bonnie Tyler在1984年推出，由老搭档Jim Steinman制作。一开始是收录在电影《Footloose》的原声带里面，这张原声带成绩非常好，曾拿到美国专辑榜冠军，算是所谓「MTV电影」的先驱者之一（之后像是《Top Gun》也是知名的例子）（后来收录在1986年的专辑《Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire》），在英国最高到#4，但是在美国只到#34。
这首歌走舞曲形式，节奏强烈，搭配Bonnie Tyler极具爆发力的嗓音，虽然排行成绩不理想，却是历久弥新，经常出现在电影电视，之后更是有多人翻唱。在电影《完美盗贼》（2001年）中女主角凯特•布兰切特下厨一节被引用，很有喜感。此外，最令人感到欣喜和振奋的是，《黑道圣徒3》在接近大结局的时候，主角选择去杀boss还是救人的时候，一路上背景音乐（不是车上放的）就是这首歌，激昂的旋律，紧张刺激的游戏打斗画面，简直就是绝配。
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
[Chorus:]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
[Chorus]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
