It was the B-side to their December 1978 single "Killing an Arab" as well as the opening track of their debut album Three Imaginary Boys. It was also released in France as a single, with the track "Accuracy" as the B-side.

Leer másA promotional video, directed by Piers Bedford, was the band`s first.[2][a]
Background
According to interviews in the booklet for the Deluxe Edition of Three Imaginary Boys, the demo of the song is what caught Chris Parry`s attention in 1978 and led him to sign the band to his newly founded record company, Fiction. The track was written by Robert Smith at the age of 16 one evening while sitting at the kitchen table feeling "utterly morose" watching the tap dripping and drinking his dad`s homemade beer. It was first performed as part of sets performed by Easy Cure at gigs around the band`s local area of Crawley.
"10:15 Saturday Night" is widely regarded as one of the Cure`s best songs. In 2019, Billboard ranked the song number ten on their list of the 40 greatest Cure songs,[4] and in 2023, Mojo ranked the song number five on their list of the 30 greatest Cure songs.[5]
Samples and cover versions
The song was sampled by Massive Attack on their cover of "Man Next Door" from their 1998 album Mezzanine.[6] It was also covered by the Living End on their EP It`s for Your Own Good.[7]
