"Superhero" is a 1997 single by Danish Eurodance band Daze from their album Super Heroes.

Release

The single became one of the fastest selling singles of 1997 in Denmark and has sold both Gold and Platinum all over Scandinavia. The two follow-up singles "Toy Boy" and "Together Forever (The Cyber Pet Song)" were also big hits in Scandinavia.[1]

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Is there still a little steam left in the Euro-NRG movement? When the material is as giddy and catchy as this, you bet. This exuberant trio—fronted by the chirpy Bix and helmed by the producers behind Aqua—speeds through a rave-ish groove and a sea of cotton-candy synths. Bix is not an extraordinary vocalist, but she's several notches above her European contemporaries, vamping with notable dexterity and confidence. The hook is sticky good fun and perfect car-radio fodder. Expect it to be blasting from rhythm-crossover and top 40 stations well into the early summer season."[2]

Two different music videos were made for the song.
