Release
During a string of soundtrack releases, Knowles commented on the song with Billboard stating, "A lot of music was written especially for the film. At first I was concerned about the timing of the soundtrack, my solo album was supposed to come out way before the movie. But then the solo album got delayed." While later announcing the release of the soundtrack album in a press release, Knowles said:
"Once you hear the song 'Fighting Temptation', and all the music in this film, you can't help but fall in love with it. You'll definitely get emotional. You might become happy or even sad, but your heart will get full. All the songs are touching and spiritual, and that's what the movie itself is like."
"Fighting Temptations" serviced as a CD single in Germany on July 5, 2003. It was later sent to urban radio for airplay in the United States on August 18, 2003.

If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
