It was written by Ben Folds and Anna Goodman.[1] The song is a look from a distance at the breakup of a couple who have fundamental differences in their outlooks on life. HistoryDespite the name, the song has nothing to do with noted playwright and author Alice Childress. Anna Goodman, at the time Ben Folds' wife, was inspired to write the lyrics to a song as a parody of Folds' style.[2] Folds has referred to Goodman's lyrics as "bad Folds," a wink to the now-defunct "International Imitation Hemingway Competition" put on by Harry's Bar & Grill in Century City, California. The competition, commonly referred to as "Bad Hemingway",{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} had participants submit "a really good page of really bad Hemingway." Folds was moved by the parody lyrics to write music. He eventually replaced nearly all of Goodman's words "line by line" as the focus of the song became clear: {{quote|... and that was between a couple at a distance and why they're splitting up because they, like, constitutionally have different ideas about how the way life works ...[2]}}Because of her contributions to the song, Goodman retains a writing credit. Additional versionsA live version of the song, recorded October 16, 1995, at the Santa Monica, California public radio station KCRW during the program Morning Becomes Eclectic, appears on the 1998 compilation and rarities album Naked Baby Photos.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} An in-studio performance of the song was recorded for the 2005 download-only album iTunes Originals - Ben Folds.
