"Heroes" is a song recorded by the English musician David Bowie, written by Brian Eno and Bowie.
 Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, it was recorded in July and August 1977, and released on 23 September 1977.
 A product of Bowie's "Berlin" period, the track was not a huge hit in the UK or US at the time, but has gone on to become one of Bowie's signature songs.
 In January 2016, following Bowie's death, the song reached a new peak of number 12 in the UK Singles Chart.
 "Heroes" has been cited as Bowie's second-most covered song after "Rebel Rebel".
Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), also known simply as Scary Monsters, is the fourteenth studio album by David Bowie, released on 12 September 1980 by RCA Records.
 It was his final studio album on the label and his first following the so-called Berlin Trilogy of "Low", ""Heroes"" and "Lodger" (1977–1979).
 Though considered very significant in artistic terms, the trilogy had proven less successful commercially.
 With "Scary Monsters", Bowie achieved what biographer David Buckley called "the perfect balance" of creativity and mainstream success as well as earning critical acclaim; the album peaked at No. 1 in the UK and restored Bowie's commercial standing in the US.

 It was released on 18 November 2014 through Parlophone in the United Kingdom, and Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings in the United States.
 It is the first album to showcase Bowie's entire career and includes a new composition, "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)", which was later re-recorded for his final album "Blackstar" (stylized as ★) (2016).
 "Nothing Has Changed" is notable for including songs from Bowie's unreleased 2001 album "Toy": "Your Turn to Drive", previously an internet-only single, and a previously unreleased re-recorded version of "Let Me Sleep Beside You", both of which are found on the triple CD version of the album.
 The album's title comes from a lyric in the song "Sunday" from Bowie's album "Heathen" (2002).
