Imogen Heap, Goodnight And Go (Ariana Grande mashup version), live in San Francisco, June 8, 2019

Imogen Heap plays the song "Goodnight And Go" live in concert at The Masonic in San Francisco, CA on June 8, 2019. The song originally appeared on her 2005 solo album Speak For Yourself. It was later covered by Ariana Grande, whom Heap discusses in the song intro. In fact, she notes that this live version is "a kind of mashup" incorporating some elements of Ariana Grande's version. Joining Heap onstage were Guy Sigsworth (keyboards), Zoe Keating (cello), Emma Houston (keytar), Tim Keiper (drums), and Steve Jones (guitar).
Heap performs with Mi.Mu musical gloves, which allow her to manipulate/loop her voice and musical samples with movements of her hands. She said this about them: "They basically enable me to reach inside that computer, and have access to all the software that I love. All of the augmentation of my voice. Or maybe I want to bring in some samples. Or add in a delay. Or reverse my voice, or whatever I want to do. So all of the vocal effects you're hearing tonight are done live."
Goodnight And Go lyrics:
Skipping beats, blushing cheeks, I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time
Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
I've got a lucky beautiful shot, you're taking everything off, watch the curtains wide open
And you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV, relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone...
Oh, why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You'd sleep here, I'd sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good, we'd be great together
Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Oh, why's it always, always...
Goodnight and go
Oh, darling, not again
Goodnight and go

just because ariana grande currently has a bigger fanbase doesn’t mean we should think she’s better, as proven im sure she doesn’t think “oh yeah my version is more popular so it’s better” i think she still looks up to imogen the same as before her fame and doesn’t let her ego get too big

[@CosmicWin]

Ariana's version was a gift for Mac Miller. This was his favorite song. So I doubt she would think anything of the like. She removed the song from her set list during the sweetener world tour because she couldn't handle it and kept crying every stage.

[@CosmicWin]

This song was Mac Miller's favorite song. Ariana wrote her own verse for the song that was about Mac Miller specifically, hence why, when she went on the SWT tour, she took the song out of the set list after a couple of performances. She got too emotional singing this song and now she won't sing it anymore.

[@njflores5812]

Let's be real and honest. Immi owns the original song. But she didn't pull it off and gave justice to the song. The song is supposed to be magical and cute like stars at night and glittery skies. Ari did more than that. Plus Ari gave a massive tune and greatness on the notes. Ariana's version is way more superior. Don't get me wrong.

@Michael Francis: You must have skipped the intro. Imogen Heap said: "The only other person in the world who has sung Hide and Seek with the gloves is Ariana Grande. She's a fan. She has covered a song of mine, and I absolutely love it. And I was so happy to discover that she did this. 'Cause it was a complete surprise. . . .I have no idea what she's saying in the 'explicit' bit. Maybe I'll pluck up the courage to ask her and attempt to sing that bit. That's awkward. Anyway, we've got kind of a mashup for you. So we've got the original. And then we've got her version." TL;DR: Toward the end of the song, Imogen Heap incorporates the "Want to say goodnight and go" section from Ariana Grande's cover.
