"Holiday" was the third single from Tongue n' Cheek, Dizzee Rascal's fourth album, and it began life as somebody else's song: Calvin Harris first wrote it for the girl group the Saturdays, who turned it down. Their loss. Harris produced it with Cage, arranged and mixed it and is credited with the other instruments. He and Nick Detnon share the music credit with the English rapper, who wrote the words, and R&B singer Chrome sang the hook.
It went out digitally on 23 August 2009, with the physical single following on 31 August, and it went straight in at number one in Britain: Dizzee's third chart-topper, or fourth counting charity records, and his fourth top-ten hit.
