Which Beyoncé song was written for the 2003 film The Fighting Temptations?

“Fighting Temptation” was written for the 2003 film The Fighting Temptations.

The song appears on the movie’s soundtrack and features Beyoncé with rapper Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free. The film is a musical comedy directed by Jonathan Lynn and stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé.

The story follows a man who returns to his hometown and forms a gospel choir while trying to fulfill a requirement connected with an inheritance. Beyoncé plays Lilly, a gospel singer whose voice becomes central to the choir’s success.
