The timing is hard to say because so much of RAL was messed up. The album was always being changed. The movie was released in June 1986 while Stevie was on tour. It is possible to have written it intending it for the album but it was too late and given to the movie soundtrack in late 1985 instead. Being that some demos are with Tom also leads towards that theory.
I was not aware of this song until Enchanted. The movie American Anthem was a total bomb at the box office. It grossed only 4.8 million while it took almost 8 million to make.
