Released on Summer's 1983 album of the same name, "She Works Hard for the Money" spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and earned Summer a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Though she didn't win, she did perform the song at the Grammys ceremony that year — which was fitting, because she was originally inspired to write the song at a Grammys after-party when she saw an exhausted restroom attendant asleep on the job.
According to Summer, after she ran and got her manager, the two went back in the bathroom, "grabbed some toilet paper," and wrote down the concept for the song:
She works hard for the moneySo hard for it, honeyShe works hard for the moneySo you better treat her right
"I had such a feeling of love and compassion for this woman. I really appreciated her role in society and began to think of other people with similar roles who do odds and ends, like waitresses, hat-check girls and mothers without husbands who keep society where it should be but don’t get credit," Summer told a reporter in a separate interview, per The Grio.

Years later, the song is still a radio classic and cultural touchstone.
