Background and release



On June 14, 2021, Tate McRae posted a pre-save link for "Working" to her Twitter account, promising to reveal the release date for the song after 10,000 people pre-saved the single. The following day, both McRae and Khalid announced the release date of "Working" for June 17, 2021. In a press release, McRae wrote that "I usually release a lot of songs that are pretty emotional but this one is just a straight summer bop."

Critical reception



Writing for 'ET Canada', Shakiel Mahjouri noted a shift on "Working" from McRae's previous "typically emotional tracks", saying that the single "brought upbeat summer heat". Jakori Beauchamp of 'Rated R&B' remarked that "the song covers the confusing dynamic of longing for one another when apart but eager to call it quits when youre reunited in person".

Music video



Before the release of "Working", McRae teased towards a music video for the song, promising it would be available "very soon". On June 22, 2021, McRae announced via Twitter that the video would be released the following day at 10AM Eastern Time. The video begins with McRae at a high school graduation party, and follows her during a summer vacation, where she works as a babysitter, while a failing relationship weighs on her mind.
