Dreamgirls is a musical drama based on the '80s Broadway hit of the same name. The story is strongly inspired by the history of Motown records and one of its most popular acts, The Supremes. In the film, Jamie Foxx plays the Berry Gordy-inspired character of Curtis Taylor, Jr., and Beyoncé plays the Diana Ross-based role of Deena Jones. The two characters become locked in a romantic relationship and eventually marry. During the flick's "That's My Dream" musical number, the scene ends with Deena and Curtis embracing each other for a passionate smooch. 

Ahead of and after the film's release, both Beyoncé and Foxx shared how hard it was for them to shoot that scene. In July 2006, Beyoncé told Digital Spy how nervous she was to kiss the Ray star. "I guess you could say we had a love scene. We kissed," she said. "Now, I'm a singer/songwriter, that's what I did first — I didn't start out going to acting classes and people-kissing classes," Beyoncé added before sharing how her acting coach helped her remember that the two characters were married. "Working with my acting coach made it easier," she shared. "I just thought it was necessary for the character, we have to establish that they're married." Beyoncé also credited Foxx for being "very professional" because "it was quick, and you know, it is what it is."
