O beat de “Work It” incorpora um sample da faixa “Peter Piper” do Run‑D.M.C., além de usar um trecho de “Request Line” de Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three no início da música.
A canção ficou dez semanas consecutivas em segundo lugar na Billboard Hot 100, sendo impedida de chegar ao topo apenas pelo sucesso “Lose Yourself” de Eminem, o que fez Missy Elliott dizer que “queria morrer” durante esse período.
“Work It” liderou a Billboard Hot R&B/Hip‑Hop Songs por cinco semanas e empata com “Waiting for a Girl Like You” de Foreigner como o single que mais tempo permaneceu em segundo lugar nos EUA sem alcançar o primeiro.
O videoclipe foi dirigido por Dave Meyers, conhecido por suas produções visuais inovadoras.
Uma versão remix inclui a participação do rapper 50 Cent, expandindo ainda mais o alcance da faixa.
