"Saturday Night" is a song by Scottish band The Blue Nile, released in 1991 as the third and final single from their second studio album Hats (1989).

He described it as "a great love song" and added, "It's so tactile you could stroke it, so gentle you could breathe it, so perfectly understated you could fail to appreciate its beauty if you were 99 per cent of the British population.

"[6] Simon Williams of New Musical Express considered it to be "a gentle, synthetic respite" which "goes voyeuring through the twilight zone, exposing the empty hours for the burden they really are".

He noted the song "sounds vacuous and tepid in the hustle and bustle of early evening", but added that it "attains breathtaking significance at dawn".

"[8] In a review of Hats, David Thigpen of Rolling Stone commented, "Songs such as 'The Downtown Lights' and 'Saturday Night' have a sparse, soulful feel that blends the cool, nocturnal languor of Bryan Ferry with the mystical hues of Peter Gabriel.
