Co-written by Georgia and Mark Ralph, both of whom also produced the song alongside Sean Oakley, it was released by Domino Recording Company on 28 March 2019.

Georgia stated that "About Work the Dancefloor" was written "in response to the clubbing culture [she] experienced in cities whilst touring".

[2] The song has been described as featuring "the tight electronic sequences of new wave", with its lyrics "as vulnerable as a handwritten note".

[5] Writing for Pitchfork, Michelle Kim called the hook "provocative" and praised Georgia's "disarmingly tender vocals".

[6] James Rettig of Stereogum deemed the song an "absolute powerhouse of a track".
