Inspired by Parton's 1980 film, '9 to 5', 'Still working 9 to 5' looks at the challenges women still face in the workplace today. 

'9 to 5', where Parton played alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, portrays three working women who live out their fantasies of getting even with and overthrowing the company's autocratic, "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss.

The beloved singer-songwriter also released her hit song '9 to 5' alongside the film in 1980.

This slowed-down version of the hit song gives the already relatable lyrics a feeling of melancholy and truth. The world gets to hear the song as they've never heard it before.
