The recording session for "Heaven" was running behind schedule and Adams called Journey drummer Steve Smith. Curry had warned Adams about his limited availability that day. Half way through the recording session drummer Mickey Curry announced that he had to leave since he committed in advance to a Hall & Oates session. At the last moment, Adams changed his mind. Iovine thought the song was too 'light' for the album and recommended that Adams not include it. Adams didn't think "Heaven" was suitable for Reckless, a feeling that was echoed by producer Jimmy Iovine, who was working with Adams at the time. Adams recorded "Heaven" at The Power Station in New York City on June 6 and 7, 1983. The single was certified Gold in Canada in 1985. It was released as the third single from Reckless and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1985, over a year and a half after the song first appeared on record. The song first appeared on the A Night in Heaven soundtrack album in 1983 and was later included on Adams' album Reckless in 1984. "Heaven" is a ballad written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and performed by Bryan Adams.
