"'It's On'" is the second single released from American hip hop trio Naughty by Nature's third album, '19 Naughty III'. It was released on June 8, 1993 and was produced and written by the three members of the group. The single found decent success on the 'Billboard' charts, making it to 74 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and 48 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song sampled jazz artist Donald Byrd's "French Spice" for which he received writing credits. The official remix was produced by the production duo, The Beatnuts and was featured on the B-Side of the single.

Critical reception



Jesse Ducker from Albumism stated that the song "is a musical change of pace, as Treach and Vinnie rhyme over a horn-heavy loop from Donald Byrd's "French Spice"." Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as "another wildly infectious, fist-waving anthem that combines rapid-fire rhymes and live, butt-shaking beats." He added, "Chanted chorus could open deserved doors at top 40 formats, though track is hard enough to keep that all-important street cred in check." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' wrote that "this hard-hitting rap track will appeal to established fans but appears to lack the crossover appeal of OPP or Hip Hip Hooray."
