The song "Saturday Night" by Jackson Dean is about the thrill and freedom of a small-town Saturday night. The narrator in the song describes their evening, starting with having their wallet and a fake ID, suggesting they are underage. They feel a sense of liberation as they venture out unnoticed. The line "According to the state of Carolina I'm over 21, Least I didn't lie too bad that's right where I come from" implies that the narrator is using the fake ID to gain entry into places restricted to those of legal drinking age. They are not entirely deceptive, as they pride themselves on not lying too much. The song captures the adventures that unfold during this small-town Saturday night. The narrator hears a beckoning sound coming from the outskirts of town and follows it. They feel a rush of excitement as their mind and body are fueled by the energy of the night.

The chorus repeats the message, that this is just another small-town Saturday night. It speaks to the familiar feeling of young people seeking freedom and adventure in their small communities. The song encourages listeners to embrace this feeling and put their hands up if they can relate. The bridge of the song brings a personal element to the lyrics. The narrator receives a call from someone whose name lights up on their phone. This could be a love interest or someone significant. The idea of freedom is reinforced as they express the joy of feeling freedom in an open field. The song ends with a catchy line emphasizing the familiarity and relatability of the small-town Saturday night experience.
