"Goodnight" had a life before Babybird the band. Stephen Jones first released it as "Good Night" on his solo album Fatherhood the December before, then recut it with a full band once Babybird signed to Echo, and that version landed on Ugly Beautiful and came out as a single in 1996. Jones wrote it alone and co-produced the new recording with Steve Power, and the new version puts a whole band behind a song that started out as his alone.
It was a minor hit, peaking at 28 on the UK singles chart, and it was the single that came just before "You're Gorgeous".
