Musically, "Saturday Night" is a dance-pop song that includes elements of electropop and techno in its instrumentation; it utilizes a synthesizer beat and heavy drums.

Mauboy also recorded a simlish version of the song titled, "Surbiduh Nye", for the video game, The Sims 3: Late Night.

[2] Majhid Heath of ABC Online Indigenous wrote that the song is a "fun dance number that'll help start off the Saturday nights of teenagers across the country.

The video features close-up shots of Mauboy singing the song wearing a blue dress and large rounded earrings, with much makeup.

There are also intercut snippets of a DB9 driving swiftly along a highway with a license plate reading "JP Logistics", an anonymous dancer on a bar seat with curly hair, and city scenes including neon signage.

Mauboy herself can be seen wearing a fox fur and dancing at a club with some girlfriends, while holding a glass of champagne, and a bottle of alcohol is also pictured.

Ludacris makes a cameo appearance, raising his sunglasses to reveal himself in the beginning and illuminating the neon lighting with his hands in his rap solo.
