Alexander O'Neal's song "If You Were Here Tonight" from 1985 is one of the inspiration pillars of this song.

Work has a total of two music videos, one more than usual. They were both made public in February of 2016.
"Work" was praised as a song which has brought the genre of dancehall to the forefront of American music, becoming the first dancehall song to top the Billboard Hot 100 since Sean Paul's "Temperature" (2006). A Billboard writer (Taj Rani) highlighted the song and Rihanna herself for displaying West Indian culture prominently without appropriation from the mainstream.
