“That was something that I heard my whole life. Every single day. My whole life. It was either that or that I wasn't enough in some way,” she said. “Whether it was the way I look or the way I am. Like I said the other day, I feel like sometimes I don't even breathe right sometimes.”

“I was this joke, and my entire identity to people was 'adjacent,' which really affected myself and the way that I thought about the world and the way I felt about myself,” he shared.

Noah later added, “it’s a blessing, and something i value heavily, to still have that same person in my life 20 years later—a solid best friend i can always trust. both living our adult lives, much different than the ones we lived before, together as children. each having our own partners, making our own music, and demanding to be no longer an underdog. and Frankie, you never were that to me.”

“i’m so grateful to Frankie for having me on this song and letting us share our story and still-pure, real love of how our friendship blossomed and how we each have changed over time,” she concluded. “it was great catching up with you, old friend.”

Meanwhile, over on Reddit, one person said, “im always fascinated what it's like being the younger sibling of a pop star. and how that impacts the family dynamics... noah, solange, ashlee simpson, etc.”

Another user wrote, “It’s really sweet they had each other for support growing up. I think their matching tattoos are cute!”
