I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Baby get up
Open your eyes now
The world's waking up
You'll realize we'll walk to the beat so suddenly
While we make believe
That this will last forever
We won't sleep 'til three in the morning
This song speaks and it's saying the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight
We're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever
We can dance together
We're crazy enough
To feel alive now
You've got the stuff
When we arrive we'll
Walk to the beat so suddenly
And then you tell me
That we will stay together
We won't sleep 'til three in the morning
This song speaks and it's saying the real thing
It feels like we're living the dream
But tonight
We're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever
We can dance together
Turn around
Just move it
With your feet on the ground
You'll prove it
When you hear the sound
We'll both lose it
Then we'll make the rounds to dance forever
And when the music stops
And we can't wait
For another day
Well we'll just dance forever
We'll hold on tight
And think of Saturdays
If you say my name
We can dance forever
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever
Open your eyes now
The world's waking up
You'll realize we'll walk to the beat so suddenly
While we make believe
That this will last forever
We won't sleep 'til three in the morning
This song speaks and it's saying the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight
We're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever
We can dance together
We're crazy enough
To feel alive now
You've got the stuff
When we arrive we'll
Walk to the beat so suddenly
And then you tell me
That we will stay together
We won't sleep 'til three in the morning
This song speaks and it's saying the real thing
It feels like we're living the dream
But tonight
We're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever
We can dance together
Turn around
Just move it
With your feet on the ground
You'll prove it
When you hear the sound
We'll both lose it
Then we'll make the rounds to dance forever
And when the music stops
And we can't wait
For another day
Well we'll just dance forever
We'll hold on tight
And think of Saturdays
If you say my name
We can dance forever
We'll set the stage and let the records play
On a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage
We can dance forever

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
