Mariah Carey admits she finds inspiration in the strangest places - her hit song Hero was written in the bathroom.

The superstar singer was using the toilet during a break from recording when the idea for the track came to her. And she confesses she even gets up in the early hours of the morning to write songs - because she dreams up tunes in her sleep.

I REALLY LOVE MARIAH'S SONGS, THE LYRIC'S ALWAYS AWAY OF TALKING TO ME OR SIMPLY GIVE MEANING AND FILL MY SENTENCE.

WE BELONG TOGETHER I DEDICATE THAT SONG TO SOMEONE I REALLY LOVE AND WANT TO SPEND MY LIVE WITH. THIS SONG COULDN'T COME A BETTER TIME JUST AFTER ME AND MY LOVE JUST HAD BEEN SEPERATED. A YEAR AGO WE MEAD OUR RELATINSHIP AND WE ARE SEPERATED AGAIN. I REALISE THAT EVEN DO WE ARE APART THAT SONG STILL PLAY IN MY HEART. THAT MEANS EVERY WORD AND EVERY BEAT STILL SHOUT FOR MY LOVE WE BELONG TOGETHER
