The lyrics were written by C.J. Langenhoven, who also wrote the lyrics to the former South African national anthem, "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika." It is set to music by F.J. Joubert; it is a military-style march.[7]

As late as the 1980s, "Vlaglied" was encouraged to be sung at white schools by the apartheid regime of South Africa, in order to help bolster the country's system of apartheid.[7] After apartheid ended in the early 1990s, the song fell out of use by many alongside the flag.
