It details the tense atmosphere of the time, highlighting how Key, while held on a British ship, watched the intense battle at Fort McHenry. Seeing the American flag still flying after the fighting sparked great feelings of patriotism and led him to write what would become the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner."
