The Saturdays made their recording debut in 2007 under the record label Fascination Records, a sub-division of Polydor Records. Their debut album, Chasing Lights, produced five UK Top 25 singles. The band embarked on their first headlining UK tour, called 'The Work Tour', in June 2009.
Their first single, titled If This Is Love was released on 28th July 2008 and entered the UK chart at #8 where it peaked. It reached #33 on the Eurochart Hot 100 singles. The single's sold around 90,000 copies to date. The second single, Up, was released on 13 October 2008. It debuted on the UK singles chart at #5, where it peaked, #11 on the Irish singles chart and #15 on the Eurochart Hot 100 singles. The single was certified as Silver and sold over 285,000 copies to date. The third single was released on January 4th 2009 and was called Issues. The chorus' lyrics had to be changed as the word "slap" sounded too close to the word "stab", and the band didn't want to condone violence. It was later changed to "leave". The single entered the UK chart at #84 and peaked at #4. It managed to hit #14 in Ireland and #21 in Europe. Their fourth single, Just Can't Get Enough, was the official Comic Relief single in 2009. It was a cover of the Depeche Mode song with the same name.

The Saturdays Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah baby I'm a party freak
And there's no going back
But can you handle that?
Watch me work it out on the floor
Yeah I'm addicted to the beat
Boy what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
'Cause the party ain't over 'til we party through
Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon
And baby when you think that you've had enough
We'll take things a whole level up
I want to lose control, let it go
Lose control, let it go
Lose control
I want to lose control, let it go
Lose control, let it go
Lose control
Love control
Tonight's initiative to the max
I'll take away your sanity and you won't get it back
But can you handle that?
Get your body out on the floor
'Cause if you're partying with me
Then you gotta give more
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
'Cause the party ain't over 'til we party through,
Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon
And baby when you think that you've had enough
We'll take things a whole level up
Tonight we're gonna party party party
Wanna see everybody move your body body body body
'Cause it's the only way that we party party party
Yeah everybody grab somebody, make it naughty naughty
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
'Cause the party ain't over till we party through...
Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon
And baby when you think that you've had enough
We'll take things a whole level up

Lose control, let it go
Lose control
Lose control
Tonight we'll run a massive attack

I never heard a bad song from them, they're great.

These old songs from 2010-2015 like this makes you want to party instead of the sad and depressing ones we have now.
Not just party, but also lose control and let it go! And yes I’m right, music today is trash
