 " Guy Love " was composed by Fordham and Perry . It was a late addition to the episode , brought on because , according to Bill Lawrence , " All the modern musicals like Jekyll & Hyde have these really overwrought love songs , so we really wanted to have one between J.D. and Turk . " It was the hardest song for Fordham to write . She met with Perry for help with the lyrics , and he gave her the hook , " It 's guy love , between two guys . " The writing became easier , but she still wanted a reference to a tender moment between Turk and J.D. She emailed D 'Abruzzo , who she knew to be a big fan of the show , " and , no exaggeration , five minutes later , she sent me a list of 30 [ moments ] " , including Turk performing an appendectomy on J.D. in " My Day Off " . At first , the song was meant to be a power ballad .
