Héroe Favorito is Romeo Santos’s playful fantasy about trading his real-world limitations for comic-book superpowers, all in the name of love. The singer imagines himself as Hulk, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, even the Invisible Man, each persona offering a new way to protect, dazzle, or sweep away the girl he loves. Every power-packed daydream springs from a simple truth: he feels powerless while her parents steer her toward someone else. By slipping into these larger-than-life roles, Romeo turns frustration into an epic romance where skyscrapers, Batcaves, and lightning-fast rescues are just part of the plan.
Beneath the capes and special effects lies a sweet message: you don’t need real superpowers to be someone’s hero. The song’s uptempo bachata groove mirrors the rush of comic-book action, while the lyrics reveal a heart ready to scale walls and break rules for a single kiss. So when the chorus asks her to name her favorite superhero, the answer is simple: it’s the ordinary guy whose love makes him extraordinary.
