The Star-Spangled Banner was written on September 14th, 1814. It was written when Francis was being detained, after the British naval bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. When the bombing finished, Key saw the American flag still up, and that was when he began writing the Star-Spangled Banner.
