'Bed' is the second song released off of J. Holiday's album Back of My Lac'. Written by The Dream, it was produced by Los Da Maestro and contains many remixes. The official remix is with Ja Rule and Trina. This song was released June 19, 2007 to the United States. The version found on the CD is 4:35, while the radio edit version lasts only 3:55. This was considered the seventieth best song of 2007, according to Rolling Stone Magazine.

The music video for this song was directed by Jonathan Mannion. It begins with J. Holiday on a tour bus. The video cuts to scenes of a woman whom he is singing about. He eventually walks down a deserted road, buys a car, and drives to his girlfriend's house, in which he is happy to see him. Then, as night approaches, he puts her to 'Bed'. The next morning when he wakes up, he sees his girlfriend still asleep, so he takes his plane ticket and leaves in a taxi, leaving he car he bought behind at the house.

There are over a dozen different remixes to this song. Ja Rule and Trina are on the official remix.
