Fifth Harmony announced on February 25, 2016 that they will be releasing their second studio album 7/27 on May 27, 2016. The album is named after the day they were formed on the The X Factor. The lead single "Work from Home" from their second studio album was announced the same day.

The track premiered for the first time on radio on February 26, 2016 on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, and was released along with the pre-order of the album. It then hit to contemporary hit radio in the United States four days later on March 1, 2016.

Ally: We were meeting with our A&R [Joey Arbagey], and he played us “Work from Home.” We were blown away when we heard it. We loved the beat. It captures you, and the melodies are sick. They are so simple, but less is more. The simplicity makes it stand out and makes a statement almost. We had to have it.

Music Video

The music video for Fifth Harmony's first single of their sophomore album 7/27, Work From Home was released on February 26, 2016 on VEVO. It was directed by Director X, who has directed music videos for artists such as Iggy Azalea, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Little Mix.

The video features the girls singing in a construction site while surrounded by shirtless men and wearing outfits inspired by construction equipment. The girls are seen participating in choreographed dance routines during the choruses and participating in construction activities during their individual solos in the verses.
