"Written on Ya Kitten" is the third and final single released from American hip hop trio Naughty by Nature's third album, 19 Naughty III (1993). The single was released in September 1993 by Tommy Boy and is produced by Naughty by Nature and QD III. It was the least successful of the three singles released from the album, only making it to 93 and 88 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100. It also peaked at number 53 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks. The song was later featured on and .
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the single "oozes with all the double-entendres that the title suggests. Luckily, this trio is smart enough to keep things from going beyond cute'n'cheeky wordplay. Sure, it would be nice to see NBN spend its considerable lyrical and melodic talent on more meaty fare, but harmless track does have the charm (not to mention a killer hook) to become a guilty pleasure."[1] Ralph Tee from Music Weeks RM Dance Update noted that "far less frantic than usual, Naughty By Nature return with this suggestive kitty ditty".[2]
