Fowley also invited Hobbs to join an all-female band that became known as The Runaways, but she declined. Kiss had also recorded the song around this time, but it was not available commercially until the 45th-anniversary edition of Destroyer was released in 2021.

Nanyehi Hobbs grew up listening to stories about Nancy Ward, her fifth-great-grandmother who was also known as Nanyehi, a Beloved Woman and political leader of the Cherokee. In 1993, She began writing songs (including "Let There Be Peace" and "Pale Moon") to honor her ancestor, intending to record them on one of her albums. As of 2024, the musical has been produced and performed live in thirteen separate productions in Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Additional co-writers included Holly Rice (who had previously shot footage of the April 2015 production of the musical in Greenville, Texas) the 2019 Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival, and the 2019 Will Rogers Tribute at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. — — 1978
