==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 (producer)|Chris Parry]]'s attention in 1978 and led him to sign the band to his newly founded record company, [[Fiction Records|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 (magazine)|Billboard]]'' ranked the song number ten on their list of the 40 greatest Cure songs,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/the-cure-best-songs-hits-list-8504417/|title=The Cure’s 40 Best Songs: Critic’s Picks|first=Andrew|last=Unterberger|website=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=March 29, 2019|accessdate=December 1, 2023}}</ref> and in 2023, ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'' ranked the song number five on their list of the 30 greatest Cure songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mojo4music.com/articles/the-mojo-list/the-cures-30-greatest-songs/|title=The Cure’s 30 Greatest Songs Ranked|website=[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]|date=November 14, 2023|accessdate=December 1, 2023}}</ref>
