"Work" is a song by British-Irish girl group The Saturdays from their debut studio album, Chasing Lights (2008). The song was written by Ina Wroldsen, Harry Sommerdahl and Kalle Engström. It was released on 29 June 2009 as the album's fifth and final single.

An accompanying music video was filmed on 16 May 2009 at Shepperton Studios. The video features a different beat to the single. The music video took concept of the band's debut tour The Work Tour. The music video would become the group's most viewed video at the time.

Commercially, "Work" failed to gain the success of the band's four previous singles. It charted at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart, number 21 on the Irish Singles Chart and 68 on the European Hot 100 Singles. The song became the band's lowest-charting single in the UK at the time (until "What Are You Waiting For?" peaked at number 38 in August 2014), and their first to miss the top 10. The single was remixed by audio and music technician Phil Tan for its release.[1]
