"Saturday" is one of the most uplifting songs Chancy has ever recorded. It captures the liberating feeling of waking up on the first day of the weekend with someone you love by your side, when you have a whole day of fun ahead of you. No work, no obligations, none of life’s usual trials and tribulations. Instead, you have the ability to enjoy those sweet, fleeting moments of respite with your friends and family, free of worry. "Saturday" leans on Chancy’s melodic pop side, and emanates sunshine every time it is played or performed live, starting from the first line of “waking up with you on a Saturday / everything’s okay” all the way through to the radiant guitar solo at the end.
lyrics
Waking up with you on a Saturday
Everything's okay
No troubles to forebode or ameliorate
I'm singing far away
Baby, baby take me higher
Break me, break me down like fire
Baby, let me drive all night
Tear down the floodgates embrace the abyss of the world
Your sheltered existence shall soon now ignite and implode
So don't you be scared child cuz I'm gonna stay here awhile
Together forever we'll sail the big sky
Waking up with you on a Saturday
Everything's okay
No troubles to forebode or ameliorate
Singing far away
Baby, baby take me higher
Break me, break me down like fire
Baby, let me drive all night
Reality sets in the moment that we are apart
With reckless abandon we plunge through the depths of our hearts
Casually fleeting and echoing into the sun
For every horizon we breach will fade in one
