Baby Goodnight

Baby Goodnight (Korean: 잘자요 굿나잇 Jaljayo Good Night; Japanese: おやすみ Good Night Oyasumi, Good Night) is the third single released by B1A4 from their debut Korean studio album, Ignition which was composed and written by Jinyoung with Baro helping with additional lyrics and raps.

It's used as the lead single for the repackaged version of Ignition. Additionally, it serves as the second Japanese single released by B1A4.

Composition
Jinyoung described the song's background story in the 2012 Inkigayo magazine:

"The story is that while talking late at night with his girlfriend, the guy has simple thoughts about wanting a bit more freedom and sends his girlfriend off to sleep first. After putting her at ease by convincing her that he’ll sleep soon, he screams ‘Tonight is dancing tonight!’ with his friends and goes together with another girl. He’s cheating."

"Rather than the bad boy that everyone thinks of usually, you’ll be able to see many sides starting from his cute thoughts about being hesitant because he might get caught, then him reassuring his girlfriend like it’s nothing, and then even a devilish side to him because he’s excited that he tricked her."
