The demo version of “Work” has been talked about in the past. In fact, Keke Palmer posted a few snippets of it on Snapchat earlier this year. But now, the reference cut is out in all its glory.
PND’s version also features a verse from Drake, but it’s modified. On this iteration, Drizzy includes rhymes like “You got a lot on your shoulders / Listen to me ’cause I’m older,” but those don’t appear in the Rihanna version. Other variations pop up throughout the verse, though most of it remains the same.
This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, however, since PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drake, and Rihanna are all credited for writing and composing “Work.”
