Angela & Uncle Jerry discuss that Taylor gave George Michael writing credits on this song. Angela notes that Taylor spoke to George Michael's estate/family, who were excited about the credit. Angela adds that George Michael also wanted to own his masters but never got to, and Taylor credited him as a writer instead of a producer so his estate would receive more money, connecting to the broader theme of artist ownership.
