“Wishing For a Hero” is the final track of Polo G’s sophomore album, THE GOAT. The track samples and draws lyrical inspiration from 2Pac’s classic song “Changes.” Polo G speaks on the same subject matter as his predecessor, mainly the oppression of African-Americans in America, especially by the police. He references civil rights activists Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.

The track is produced by Father-Son duo The Superiors and features vocals from fellow Chicago native BJ The Chicago Kid. The piano and chorus sampled from 2Pac’s “Changes” were originally sampled from the 1986 hit song “The Way It Is” by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
