Work from Home
Fifth Harmony Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
I ain't wearin' na nada
I'm sittin' pretty, impatient, but I know you gotta
Put in them hours, I'mma make it hotter
I'm sending pic after picture, I'mma get you fired

I know you're always on the night shift
But I can't stand these nights alone

And I don't need no explanation
'Cause baby, you're the boss at home

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, work
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh oh
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh oh

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
Nothin' 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
And I don't need no explanation
'Cause baby, you're the boss at home

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, work
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh-oh
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh-oh

Girl, go to work for me
Can you make it clap, no hands for me?
Take it to the ground, pick it up for me
Look back at it all over me
Put in work like my timesheet
She ride it like a '63
I'ma buy her no Celine
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' judge, she finesse
I pipe up, she take that
Putting overtime on your body

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, work
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh-oh
We can work from home, oh, oh, oh-oh

Yeah, we can work from home

Yeah, we can work from home
Yeah

Overall Meaning

In the opening verse of Fifth Harmony's Work from Home, the singer is confident and self-assured, boasting that she's not fretting over anything as she waits for her partner to finish up his job. She paints a picture of herself as a seductress, sending photos to her beloved in order to make him more motivated to get back to her. She's promising to make things hot when he returns, playing with the traditional gender roles of men as breadwinners and women as home-makers.

The second verse shows the vulnerability of the singer as she admits she cannot handle being alone during the night shift while her partner is at work. She asserts that her partner is the boss of their home and doesn't need any explanation. The chorus is repeated multiple times in the song and continues to perpetuate the idea that the singer's partner may not need to go to work physically but must still put in effort in their relationship.

Overall, the song is a playful take on the modern-day hustle culture and the blurred lines that arise between professional and personal relationships.
