“Holidays in the Sun” foi gravada no Wessex Studios, em Londres, durante uma sessão realizada em junho de 1977.
A canção foi lançada como single em 14 de outubro de 1977 e alcançou a 8ª posição na parada de singles do Reino Unido.
Foi escrita pelos quatro integrantes da banda na época – Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Johnny Rotten e Sid Vicious – sendo uma das duas faixas do álbum “Never Mind the Bollocks…” criadas após a saída do baixista original, Glen Matlock.
A inspiração da música veio da viagem do grupo a Berlim, próximo ao Muro, onde a atmosfera “deprimente e confinadora” motivou a busca por escapar da violência que sentiam em Londres.
Em 2012, Steve Jones refletiu que “Holidays in the Sun” “resume bem a viagem”, confirmando a forte ligação entre a experiência em Berlim e a composição da canção.
