Iovine thought the song was too 'light' for the album and recommended that Adams not include it. The song first appeared on the soundtrack to the 1983В film, A Night in Heaven, although it was not officially released as a single at this point.ДЄdams was unconvinced that 'Heaven' was suitable for his next studio album, Reckless, В a feeling that was echoed by producer Jimmy Iovine, who was working with Adams at the time. Since the recording session for 'Heaven' was running behind schedule, Adams called Journey drummer Steve Smith, who happened to be in New YorkВ at the time and he filled Curry's drumming position. Halfway through the recording session, drummer Mickey CurryВ вЂ“ who had warned Adams about his limited availability that day вЂ“ announced that he had to leave since he had committed in advance to a Hall & OatesВ session. It was recorded at The Power StationВ in New York CityВ on June 6 and 7, 1983. During that time, he and Jim VallanceВ co-wrote 'Heaven', which was heavily inspired by the band's hit ' Faithfully'. Adams had played over 100 dates with JourneyВ during 1983, serving as the opening act on their Frontiers Tour.
