"Fighting Temptation" is a single released by R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles and female rappers Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free in 2003 to promote the film The Fighting Temptations, in which Knowles stars. The song samples Uncle Louie's 1979 song "I Like Funky Music". The song is basically about a group of women's strict "no sex" rule similar to a part of the film's plot.
Released commercially on July 5, 2003, the single received attention from European countries, eventually peaking at number thirteen in the Netherlands. The film was also an instant success, mainly due to Knowles' success in Europe at that time.
