Similar to sentiments expressed in tracks “Hotline Bling” and “Bria’s Interlude,” Drake comments on the detrimental effects that long distance has on his relationships. Due to his lack of physical presence, this woman has presumably lost sight of the emotional connection that they used to share. In attempts to rekindle their love, he proposes the idea of an intimate date. He’ll put the ball in her court, there’ll be no forced agenda, instead Drake will give her the autonomy to pick the environment that she feels most comfortable in. This may also serve as a continuation to the narrative told in Drake and Rihanna’s previous collaborations. “What’s My Name?” touched on the lustful and mysterious first encounter, whereas “Take Care” took on a more serious stance, showing evidence of high level commitment and compassion. “Work” acts as a reflective piece, illustrating the transformation of both their sexual and platonic relationship.
