"Superman" is a song written by American rapper Eminem. It features backing vocals from Dina Rae and was released in January 2003 as a single in the U.S. only, peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single is taken from Eminem's worldwide hit album, The Eminem Show, which was released in 2002.
[edit] Background
The song is about the rocky relationships and promiscuous nature of the girls Eminem has had in his life and how he plans to deal with it. In his 2008 autobiography The Way I Am, Eminem revealed that the song is about his rumored relationship with singer Mariah Carey, to an extent. The song is very similar to his song "Drug Ballad" and "Pimp Like Me" with D12. The music video for the song features porn star Gina Lynn and can only be found on the 8 Mile DVD. It also contains an edit different from the album version. The uncensored contains nudity, and is rarely shown on MTV or BET. It features on the music video website VEVO. Shannon Elizabeth was Eminem's first choice to star in the video, although this never came to fruition, as they could not come to terms.
