I ain't worried about nothin', I ain't wearin' na-nada
I'm sittin' pretty, impatient, but I know you gotta
Put in them hours, I'ma make it harder
I'm sendin' pic after picture, I'ma get you fired
[Pre-Chorus: Normani, Dinah]
I know you're always on the night shift
But I can't stand these nights alone (Oh-oh)
And I don't need no explanation
'Cause, baby, you're the boss at home
[Chorus: Lauren]
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Ally, Ally & Dinah]
Let's put it into motion, I'ma give you a promotion
I'll make it feel like a vacay, turn the bed into an ocean
We don't need nobody, I just need your body
Nothing but sheets in-between us, ain't no getting off early
I know you're always on the night shift
But I can't stand these nights alone (Oh-oh)
And I don't need no explanation
'Cause, baby, you're the boss at home (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Lauren]
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Bridge: Ty Dolla $ign]
(Dolla $ign) Oh, yeah
Girl, go to work for me (Work for me)
Can you make it clap, no hands for me? (Oh, yeah)
Take it to the ground, pick it up for me
Look back at it all over me (Oh, yeah)
Put in work like my timesheet (Oh)
She ride it like a '63 (Oh-woah)
I'ma buy her new Céline (Oh, no)
Let her ride in a foreign with me
Oh, she the bae, I'm her boo
And she down to break the rules
Ride or die, she gon' go
I'm gon' juug, she finessin'
I pipe her, she take that
Put in overtime on your body
You don't gotta go to work (You don't gotta go to work, no)
Work, work, work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work (Woah)
Work, work, work, work, work, work (Oh, yeah)
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work (Do the work, do the work)
Work, work, work, work, work, work (Yeah, yeah)
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
We can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Outro: Camila]
Yeah, we can work from home, ah
Yeah, we can work from home, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah
About
The infectious lead single from 5H’s 7/27, “Work From Home” is a bouncy pop song about sex. The girls are lonely at home while their significant others are stuck at work in the night. They ache for their lover’s touch, telling them they don’t have to go to work but instead stay home and “work” in bed, comparing their intimacy as a vacation.
The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the group’s first top 10 hit.

Our A&R Joey [Arbagey] played it to us one day, and he was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be a big one’. We heard it and we just fell in love with it. We were just obsessed with it because it’s laid-back and chill and has a kind of urban pocket to it. I think that’s why we loved it so much, because it branched out in different ways than everything else we’d recorded, and when you’re making an album, you always want to find different pieces of the puzzle, not just one of the same.

[‘Work From Home’] just made sense after ‘Worth It’ because they have similar styles, but they’re still different. And just creatively, we think it’s a really cool song. It’s chill, it’s not too much. The beat just rides. There’s something electrifying about it. It’s sexy, but it’s cool.

We were trying to find who would be a good feature in “Work From Home” and I was like ‘Ty totally gotta get on this!’ and they [Fifth Harmony’s management] listened to me!
