The Star Spangeled Banner is another word for our flag. The song is symbolic of the fights and the struggle and the many battles we fought to keep our independence in the very begining of our country's history. The lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key who after an especially nasty battle, see's the sun begining to come up (Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light) and through the smoke and the dirt and destruction of battle (and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air), he sees the flag still in one peace, waving and standing how it did the night before (gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave). With pride in his heart he feels and therefore writes the last line "For the land of the free and the home of the brave," honoring those who fought proudly for the the country and the flag (symbolically)

Who wrote Singapore's national anthem?

The Singapore's national anthem should be something familiar to all Singaporeans. Named "Majulah Singapura", it is known as the identity of the nation. Majulah Singapura Mari kita rakyat SingapuraSama-sama menuju bahagiaCita-cita kita yang muliaBerjaya Singapura Marilah kita bersatuDengan semangat yang baruSemua kita berseruMajulah SingapuraMajulah Singapura The national anthem was written by Encik Zubir Said around 1956-1957. The whole anthem was on the basis of 2 words, "Majulah Singapura", which translates to mean "Onward Singapore". It was selected to be the national anthem by the Singapore self-government in 1959, and formally recognized as the national anthem in 1965, when Singapore attained independance. The original anthem was composed in the key of G-major, but was changed into F-major in 2001 as it seemed to make it sound grander and more inspiring. Every morning, all the students in Singapore will have a sing the national anthem and recite the Pledge as a start of the day.

I hope you mean the US national anthem. If it is, it was written by Francis Scott Key when he was on a british ship overseeing the batlle of Fort McHenry during the beginning of the Revolutionary War. When he wrote this, it was in the form of a poem and he sold it to a local newspaper for a relatively low amount of money and was later cirrculated accross the colonies where it was later given a tune and adopted as the national anthem.
