This is such a bad song. Please don't trouble yourself to understand it. The majority simply makes fun of it's simpleton lyrics. It's "popular" because it's so bad.
To answer your question:
"gotta get down on Friday" means:
Subject: understood "I"
Gotta = Have to
Get down = party/relax/have a good time
on Friday = All of this will occur on Friday
It really doesn't have that deep of a meaning other than it's literal meaning. She wants to party on Friday... woooo

From the song's lyrics, the singer is waiting for Friday to arrive because she wants to have a good time on the week end.

[Rebecca Black - Verse 1]
7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)
Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend
[Rebecca Black - Verse 2]
7:45, we’re drivin’ on the highway
Cruisin’ so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it
Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
[Chorus]
It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday

I don't know the song, but people will say 'gatta get down' when they mean they should do something.
By itself, it would mean that the person wants to party and or dance.
