 For the "Breakfast in America" title track, Davies alone is listed as composer and lyricist.However, the same LP states general credits on the center label, not specific to any song, saying that all of the songs on the album were written by Davies and Hodgson together.After Supertramp started performing the song during a reunion tour without Hodgson, Hodgson took credit for writing the song, telling reporters that Davies initially "hated" the song, and that he believed Davies did not play on the recording at all.
