It also achieved top 10 peaks in Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Norway, where it also became their highest-charting song in said countries.
Originally titled "Work" and set to be released on January 26, 2016, the group had to re-title the song to "Work from Home" to avoid confusion with Rihanna's song of the same name, which was released a month prior. Dolla $ign further strokes his brilliance by using modern jargon to connect to the unsuspecting and philistine members of the public. The mindset of the song shifts gears, as Dolla $ign appears to be accepting of the woman being able to be free of his demands and faulty, constraining views.

Work From Homeby Fifth Harmony (featuring Ty Dolla $ign)
I am already hooked since my favorite pastime is working from home and who better to help illustrate that enjoyment than an artist’s name that has more references to money than Scrooge McDuck. But that is solely a straightforward depiction of this song based off its title. Below is an interpretation of the song’s underlying message of feminism and gender stereotypes as told by this groundbreaking group. Not long after officially announcing their second album was on the way, Fifth Harmony have shared the first taste of 7/27. “hand sanitizer fighting the corona virus,” wrote one fan.
"Our song was originally called 'Work' and when Rihanna dropped, it was like, 'Hell no, can't have the same song as the queen,'" Fifth Harmony's Dinah Jane Hansen told Billboard magazine. Dolla $ign first appears in the song, publicizing himself as the voice of the man, in a very domineering manner, demanding a girl to go work for him. I have a feeling this will take a turn for the worse and unintentionally setback feminism similar to how KFC waged war against the health of America with the inception of its “Double-Down Dog”.

Fifth Harmony Lyrics
I’m Polynesian, a mix of everything, Tongan, Samoan, Danish. Everyone always thought of me as being African-American or Latin, and I love that, but I’m glad I can bring a little island to this album. With the new music, we were giving it a little reggae vibe with the beats — that represented me. Of course the Queen slayed “Formation.” Formation is definitely an empowering song for her to come out and show her side of her culture as well. The girl is from Louisiana and Texas, and I love that these artists are showing where they came from now.
