I've always felt the extent of his grudge had to go further than just a spurned lover and had just as much if not more to do with his belief that without his playing, arranging and producing her songs she would never have had the level of success she had. If you add to that that he provided the music for her to write to and didn't take credit, that would explain a LOT. (For those who think he wouldn't do that, recall she totally wrote at least part of Wild Heart to his track for Can't Go Back and I've never seen him credited as a cowriter).

Not sure about the music per se, but as for the lyrics alone I could easily believe that Lindsey wrote the verse (which is fairly inane and repetitive) and Stevie wrote the chorus (which has very Stevie lyrics). Also in terms of the story the lyrics tell, the verses sound like Lindsey talking to Stevie and the chorus sounds like Stevie talking to Lindsey--whether in 1974 or in 2018.
