since "grey's anatomy" began, series creator shonda rhimes had planned to produce a musical episode. she first discussed the idea during filming of the pilot episode, when the program was as yet untitled. rhimes felt that seasons six and seven were the right time for the crew to "try anything and everything [they had] always wanted to do," and explained that she "finally [had] the right idea and the right talent to make [a musical episode] happen." filming began seven and a half years after rhimes initially raised the idea. the episode was shot in approximately two weeks. though cast member dempsey jokingly referred to the episode as "glee m.d.," rhimes intended for it to differ from other . she called it the opposite of "once more, with feeling," the "all-out, show-stopping," musical episode of "buffy the vampire slayer," as she aimed to "do something that was musical without being a musical."
