"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 around a slowed-down sample of Change's 1980 single "A Lover's Holiday", written by Davide Romani and Tanyayette Willoughby. "Holiday" 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.
