"'Holiday'" is the fourth and final single released from American hip hop trio Naughty by Nature's fifth album, 'Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury'. The song is built entirely around a dramatically slowed down sample of Change's 1980 number-one US dance hit "A Lover's Holiday". The song was released in October 1999 and was the final release that Naughty by Nature released during their short-lived tenure at Arista Records.
"Holiday" narrowly missed the US 'Billboard' Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, instead making it to number one on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles listing. Worldwide, the single reached number six on Canada's 'RPM' Dance chart, number eight in Australia, and number 50 in France.
