Emergence
The song was written in 1983 by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Adams recorded a demo that included Diana as well as Heaven . The final version of the song was recorded on June 6 and 7, 1983 at Avatar Studios (better known as Power Station Studios) in New York and then released on the film soundtrack.
Adams thought at the time that Heaven didn't go well with the album Reckless , which was recorded a year later , and producer Jimmy Iovine, who worked very closely with Adams at the time , was of the same opinion . Iovine thought the song was too "nice" for the album. So it was decided not to include Heaven in the final version of the album, but at the last moment Adams changed his mind and Heaven made it onto the record.
During the Heaven recording session , drummer Mickey Curry ended his collaboration with Adams because he liked the studio recordings with Hall & Oates better. The recording of Heaven were with Steve Smith finished the drummer of Journey . On the same day that the studio recording ended, Smith took over from Curry as drummer for the recordings of Adams. While writing Heaven , Adams and Vallance were influenced by Journey's music.
