"Goodnight Girl" was the third single from Wet Wet Wet's fourth studio album, High on the Happy Side. It was released on December 24, 1991, and was the second of the band's three UK number one singles (the first being a cover of The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends"), but the only one to be self-penned. A lush, string-laden ballad, it spent four weeks at number one in January 1992. Cliff Richard joined them on Top of the Pops when they performed the song.
