Overview
Anna: 'Turn that noise down!' my friend said, 'I love your record, but I don't really like that Michael Jordan song.' It was written at a time when I was involved with someone and I felt like he was just giving up. And Michael Jordan had just quit playing basketball, but now he's back which might cause a problem.
Tony: But it's not like,'why did he quit?' It's 'why does he quit?' He's a quitter in general because he quit baseball as well as basketball.

"Michael Jordan" was written by Anna Waronker in late 1993, after the NBA player of the same name quit basketball that October.
