About Saturday Night

"Saturday Night" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Natalia Kills for her second studio album, Trouble (2013). It was exclusively released to online media retailers as the album's second single on 28 June 2013, following the release of the promotional single "Controversy" and the album's lead single "Problem". Written by American record producer Jeff Bhasker and Kills, the song faces the themes of "squandered youth and disenchantment", and talks about moving on while going through a difficult time. Musically, it is a new wave-tinged, synth-based song. Upon its release, critical response to "Saturday Night" was generally positive: contemporary music critics highlighted the lyrics' personal content and billed it as Kills' best song to date. "Saturday Night" was able to peak at number twenty-three at the singles chart of New Zealand, and reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. Along with the single release, a music video directed by Guillaume Doubet was released in July 2013. It revolves around domestic abuse, drug addiction, and Kills' relationship with her parents.

Momma you’re beautiful tonight,
Movie star hair and that black eye,
I can’t even notice it when you smile so hard through a heart felt lie,
Go kiss the liquor off his laugh,
Another suitcase full of cash,
Shiny apologies in a velvet box,
What a real good man.

We drive brand new cars and we light fine cigars,
We shine like small town stars through the best days of our lives,

We will walk right down the pavement,
I know we’re gonna be just fine,
And I’ll put on my dancing shoes real tight,
‘Cause it’s just another Saturday night

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.

Another fist, another wall,
We lose ourselves we lose it all,
I wrote him a hundred times,
Can you hear my heart through the prison bars?
The boys I kiss don’t know my name,
The tears I cry all taste of blame,
Bad luck and dirty cops,
I’m a fucking teenage tragedy,

I walk lonely streets and I talk big time dreams,
So hold on before you see that you’re better off without me,

Cause when I look up from the pavement,
I know I’m gonna be just fine,
And I’ll put on my dancing shoes real tight,
‘Cause it’s just another Saturday night

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.

There’s a rainbow on the bathroom door again,
Where the lipstick slides and the pearls all fly oh.
I’m gone and I ain’t coming back this time,
I’m gonna find my home underneath the city lights oh.

Pills fall like diamonds from my purse,
Right out the hole in my fur coat,
Straight down the gutter goes my antidote to a broken girl,
I promise I’ll be the one you want,
Don’t tell me I’m unfixable,
You don’t know what it’s like to be seventeen with no place to go,

But give me just one night and I’ll be almost fine,
Remind me one more time it’s the best days of my life,

Cause when I look up from the pavement,
I know I'm gonna be just fine,
And I’ll put on my dancing shoes real tight,
‘Cause it’s just another Saturday night

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Cause it's just another Saturday night,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
This is just another Saturday night.
This is just another Saturday night.
This is just another Saturday night.
This is just another Saturday night.
This is just another Saturday night.
