Songfacts®:

  • Chris Young's "Young Love & Saturday Nights" is a rocking ode to trucks and weekend teen romances.

    Here's to good girls that can't keep from falling
    For bad boys that their daddies don't like
    Small towns that keep staying small
    Here's to old trucks, young love, and Saturday nights


    These two lovers are all about taking risks and throwing caution to the wind. Rebels in love, they're breaking hearts and making memories that'll last a lifetime.
  • You could call the two lovers rebels, and indeed, the song borrows the guitar riff from David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel." Bowie's 1974 classic is so influential on the song that the Thin White Duke is credited as a co-writer alongside Nashville mainstays Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, and Josh Thompson.
  • Young and his frequent collaborators Corey Crowder and Chris DeStefano produced the track.
