The song was written by Hayley Warner with Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci of the songwriting and production duo DNA Songs. "Good Night" received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, most of whom noted its similarities to Pink's "Raise Your Glass" (2010).

"Good Night" was written by Hayley Warner with Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci of the songwriting and production duo DNA Songs, who also produced the track. On 22 November 2011, "Good Night" was released for digital download and sent to Australian radio, shortly after Mastin won the third series of the The X Factor (Australia). When speaking of the song, Mastin explained: "It's got that old' summery-rock kinda feel to it you know, like classic rock songs like 'Boys Of Summer' (Don Henley). It's just really fun, and songs from [X Factor] winners are usually really big ballads, so it was cool to do something a little bit different."
