Performance tip
When rehearsing Work, aim the repeated questions at one imagined listener so they sound intentional rather than merely recited. For Work, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.
Should you sing it?
With Work, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
