The original R&B version of this song was intended to be Rowland's first single release from her Ms. Kelly album, but instead "Like This" was released.
This was given a dance makeover by the Brighton production team Freemasons. Kelly told the Daily Mail January 4, 2008: "I heard how great Freemasons were because they also worked with Beyoncé. They gave 'Work' a new lease of life." The re-mixed version was released as a single in some territories in 2008.
Her album Ms. Kelly, originally intended as a collection of ballads, was released in 2007, but due to it's poor chart performance a re-worked version with some new songs added was released the following year. In the same Daily Mail interview Kelly Rowland explained: "This album has taken so long because I needed everything to be right, from the songs to the packaging. I knew what I wanted-and the original version was too mid-tempo. I got letters from fans saying they wanted more up-tempo songs, so I went back and made sure there were more upbeat tracks. I want my record to be played in clubs."
