"Working for the Weekend" is a song by Canadian rock band Loverboy, from their second studio album Get Lucky (1981). It was written by guitarist Paul Dean, vocalist Mike Reno and drummer Matt Frenette, and produced by Bruce Fairbairn and Dean, and released as the lead single from the album in October 1981. It has more of a power pop feel than the other band's other songs, but this new sound proved to generate success; the song reached number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and number two on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in January 1982.
"Working for the Weekend" is ranked number 100 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s.
