All My Heroes

"**All My Heroes**" is a song by Swedish pop singer LÉON from her third studio album, *Circles* (2022). It was released alongside the album on 4 March 2022 under LL Entertainment.

## Background & composition

"All My Heroes" was written solely by Moa Michaeli, known professionally as Maybe. This marked the first time LÉON did not have a writing credit on a song in her main discography. It was produced by longtime friends Michaeli and Martin Stilling.

A version of "All My Heroes," written by Michaeli and performed by Swedish singer VARPU, was originally released by royalty-free label Epidemic Sound in January 2022. It was later revealed via official track list that LÉON's version of the song would be included on her third studio album.

LÉON revealed how the song became in her possession: "[Michaeli] and I were in a pub and she asked if I wanted to hear something she was working on. She played me a demo. It was the first time I heard a song and I said I have to have it. It spoke volumes about how I felt and it’s so amazing to feel like someone gets you on that level."

In a separate interview, LÉON explained further her instant connection to the song: "I knew I had to have it cause it resonated in so many ways with what I felt and what I had been feeling. I was like, 'If someone else sings this on stage, I'm gonna be heartbroken.' "

When asked if she could relate to the song's chorus, LÉON replied: "All my heroes aren't dead, definitely not. I don't believe in God, so I can stand by that. It depends on how you view God, I guess."

## Release

"All My Heroes" was officially released on 4 March 2022 alongside the rest of the album.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Saturday night at the arcade

Silver coins in my hand

Ready to cause some damage

Saturday night at the arcade

Silver coins in his hand

Ready to cause some damage

**[Pre-Chorus 1]**

He wakes up, he gets drunk

And he hides at this den

And, ohh, he seems so alone

And I think I'm the same

**[Chorus]**

All my heroes are dead and I don't believe in God

Who will save me from myself?

My heroes are dead and I don't believe in God

Who will save me from myself?

My heroes, all my heroes are dead

**[Verse 2]**

Saturday night back at his place

Far away from the crowds

Where nobody can see us

I know that he's bringing me down

But I feel so alive

With his hands in my denim

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

He wakes up, he gets drunk

And he hides at this den

Always seem so alone

And I think we're the same

But he doesn’t want me to change

**[Chorus]**

All my heroes are dead and I don't believe in God

Who will save me from myself?

My heroes are dead and I don't believe in God

Who will save me from myself?

My heroes, all my heroes are dead

My heroes, all my heroes are dead

**[Outro]**

All my heroes are dead (My heroes are dead)

All my heroes are dead

Who's gonna save my from myself?
