Work It Out (Def Leppard song)

"Work It Out" is a 1996 song by the English hard rock band Def Leppard from their gold album Slang. It was written entirely by new guitarist Vivian Campbell. It was released as a single later that year, reaching number six on the US Mainstream Rock chart and number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background
Lead singer Joe Elliot said in the album's commentary that Work It Out "was Vivian [Campbell's] first songwriting contribution to the band" and that Elliot "had this opportunity to channel [his] inner Iggy Pop instead of screeching in this high register like [he had] always done in the past". The music video was directed by Nigel Dick in April 1996 at Occidental Studios in Los Angeles, California. The video was released in May 1996.

"Work It Out" has not been played live by the band since the Slang World Tour in 1997.
