MGMT performed "It's Working" live on "The Late Late Show" with Craig Ferguson during a notable period in their career, specifically promoting their self-titled album released in 2013. This album marked a departure from the band's earlier psychedelic pop sound characterized by their breakout hits, showcasing a more experimental and eclectic style. The performance on the show reflects their evolution as artists, engaging with a wider audience as they transitioned from the mainstream success of their debut album "Oracular Spectacular" to more avant-garde musical explorations. Additionally, during this era, MGMT embraced a more hands-on approach to their music, emphasizing artistic expression over commercial expectations, which ultimately resonated with their committed fan base and helped solidify their status in the indie music scene.
