Mick Jagger wrote "Let's Work" and sent it out in 1987 as the lead single from Primitive Cool, his second solo album. Expectations were high, but it never caught on the way "Just Another Night" had, stalling at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video puts Jagger on the run down a street among groups of workers.

It did outlast the rest of the album in one respect. Two decades on, when The Very Best of Mick Jagger came out in 2007, it was the only Primitive Cool track to make the cut.
