"Edge of Saturday Night" is a song by American DJ and producer the Blessed Madonna and Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue. It was released on August 14, 2024, through Warner Music UK and Margeverse Limited.[2] [3] It is the third single from the former's debut studio album Godspeed, which was released in October 2024.[4] [5] It is also included on Minogue's seventeenth studio album Tension II (2024).[6]

Background and release

The idea for "Edge of Saturday Night" first came about in 2020. The Blessed Madonna shared, "When I was given the opportunity to begin an album, we were on the edge of lockdown. When I sat down to write lyrics for the very first time, I was on the edge of a brand new life. When I programmed and wrote the music that would become this song, I was on the edge of the next big leap into producing. It's fitting that this song is about an equally important edge in my life. It was a morning that magically turned into night. It was a dawn when instead of the party ending, we shut the blinds and began again… But that's just where the story begins. You see, then there was Kylie. Yes, THE Kylie. When she came into my life through this song, it was even more surprising than dawn turning to dusk. She breathed an energy into Edge and into me. So here we are together, Marge and Kiki… and all of you are invited."[7]

On September 16, 2024, it was announced that "Edge of Saturday Night" would be released on 12" vinyl, limited to 1,159 copies worldwide, on October 31.[8]
