2001 Mariah Carey – Never Too Far/Hero Medley

Never Too Far/Hero Medley é um medley gravado pela cantora e compositora americana Mariah Carey , lançado como single beneficente em 11 de dezembro de 2001 pela Virgin Records nos EUA. Também está incluído como faixa bônus no lançamento japonês de Carey's Greatest Hits (2001). O medley combina o primeiro verso e refrão de "Never Too Far", escrito por Carey e Jimmy Jam e Terry Lewis, com uma versão regravada do primeiro verso, refrão e ponte de "Hero", escrito por Carey e Walter Afanasieff. A música foi produzida por Carey, Jimmy Jam e Terry Lewis e Randy Jackson. O single foi criado para expressar uma mensagem de união e amor após os ataques de 11 de setembro. O lado B da música, intitulado "There For Me", foi uma faixa restante de Carey's Rainbow (1999), que ela escreveu ao lado de David Foster e Diane Warren.
