"Heroes" is a single by the Greek-Swedish singer and Eurovision Song Contest winner, Elena Paparizou. The song was specially written to be the official theme song of the 2006 European Championships in Athletics, held in Paparizou's home town Gothenburg. The song is featured on Elena's latest studio album The Game of Love, which was released on October 25, 2006.
The song is mainly in English, but does contain some Spanish lyrics such as 'viva los heros' — cognate with 'long live the heroes' — and with very little Greek such as 'Nikes gia panta' — which means 'victories forever'.
