Mr. Goodnight is the sixth track from Prince’s 32nd album Planet Earth, and, three weeks after the album’s initial release (with the Mail on Sunday newspaper in the UK and Ireland), it was included as the b-side of the promotional single Chelsea Rodgers, available only in the USA.

While specific recording dates are not known, it is likely that basic tracking took place in Spring 2007, most likely at 3121 at The Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada (although possibly at either Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota or Circle House in Miami, Florida). The song’s lyrics refer to listening to the track Somewhere Here On Earth, which is believed to have been recorded in March 2007, suggesting that Mr. Goodnight was recorded between March and June 2007.
