"'Work That Magic'" is a 1991 song from the album 'Mistaken Identity' by Donna Summer. It was written by Summer, Keith Diamond, Eve Nelson, Anthony Smith and Larry Henley and produced by Diamond. The single was released on November 18, 1991, as the second and final single from the album by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records (Europe). In some countries' editions of the album (including the UK), the version of the song was a remix by Ian Stanley. The edited version of the remix was used in the songs music video. This version was released as a single in the UK (in place of "When Love Cries", which had been a single in America and Europe). While most of the album had quite an urban feel, this song was much more of a dance number. It peaked at number 74 in the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
In their review of the 'Mistaken Identity' album, 'Billboard' described the song as "house-inflected" and picked it as a "worthy candidate" to follow up "When Love Cries".
