A string-laden ballad, "Goodnight Girl" spent four weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart in January 1992. It also gave Wet Wet Wet their third Irish number-one single (after "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Sweet Surrender") and reached the top 10 in Belgium and the Netherlands. Marti Pellow recorded his own version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile. Writer Graeme Clark was inspired to write the song for his then girlfriend, but has never publicly named her.
