"Bug a Boo" is an R&B/dance-pop song by American recording group Destiny's Child. It was written by band members Beyoncé Knowles, LeToya Luckett, LaTavia Roberson and Kelly Rowland along with Kandi Burruss and Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs for their second album The Writing's on the Wall (1999), featuring production by the latter. The song uses interpolations of the 1978 song "Child's Anthem" by Toto.
The song was released as the album's second single on August 23, 1999. It peaked at number thirty-three on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside the United States, the song peaked within the top ten of the charts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
"Bug a Boo" debuted at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 25, 1999 and ascended to number 33 before descending down the charts. Following the huge success of "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Bug a Boo" was a disappointment in its sales and airplay. It performed better on the R&B charts reaching number 15, but remains one of two Destiny's Child singles not to reach the top 10 on this chart. The song spent twenty weeks on the Hot 100. At the start of the Refugee Camp Remix version, the opening lyrics refer to the band doing "it right the second time". The single also made it to number 26 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.
In the Netherlands the song peaked at number 6 on the Mega Single Top 100, it remained in the charts for 15 weeks and it had a lot of airplay on the radio stations.
