The fourth story is the one Claudia didn't expect to love: Noah Cyrus — Miley's little sister — and Frankie Jonas — the bonus Jonas — have released a new single called 'High and Sad.' Noah wrote about how Frankie is the only person who understands what it's like to grow up as the overlooked sibling of a megastar, and the song reflects that shared emotional truth. Jackie has followed Frankie Jonas's solo music career enough to know he's genuinely talented — 'his voice is insane' — and questions for the hundredth time why the Jonas Brothers haven't absorbed him.

Jackie notes the visual resemblance to a young Miley and young Nick Jonas, adding another layer of nostalgic charm to the project.
