Actually, I've never really understood its place in Dreamgirls, either -- the play still isn't sure at this point whether it wants to be an integrated (break into song and dance spontaneously) or backstage (following performers) musical and this song kind of stands out in a spotlight, not particularly changing anything in the narrative or commenting on what's come before. My suspicion is that it was stuck in to be the one song that would possibly have legs as a single or something outside of the musical, though have no idea how it was written or ultimately distributed.
