The album features nine original songs with Christmas-themed lyrics and a cover of the Christmas classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams would later re-record the song with Sabrina Bryan as the Cheetah Girls for the 2007 compilation, Disney Channel Holiday.
Despite being a Christmas album, some of the songs on Naughty or Nice feature more mature content similar to that of A Girl Can Mack, and the album is largely hip-hop influenced. The mature content and hip-hop sound of the album would heavily contrast the R&B and pop sound of 3LW's debut album. Bailon and Williams would later go on to record as The Cheetah Girls.
Released just weeks after A Girl Can Mack, Naughty or Nice did not chart.
