"Nice and Lovely" is a song by Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy, released as the second single from his debut studio album, Pure Pleasure (1993). The song was released on 25 June 1993 by Virgin and Greensleeves Records, following the success of his debut single, "Oh Carolina". It was considered much of a step away from the simplicity of the first single, and as such, the release was surrounded by controversy. "Nice and Lovely" was only released in the United Kingdom, however, promotional copies of the single were issued in the United States. It peaked at No. 46 on the UK Singles Chart, forty-five places lower than "Oh Carolina".
