During an acoustic performance last night at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill, former Nickelodeon star Jamie Lynn Spears gave a touching (albeit painfully flat) performance of her new song “I Look Up to You” – a tribute to big sister Britney Spears.

The next song is called, ‘I Look Up to You,’… You can imagine who I wrote it about. I hope y’all like it a lot.

The song discusses the senior Spear’s difficult life growing up in the spotlight, with lyrics like,

Saying scared little girl living in a big old world. You’ve outgrown your room, it all happened way too soon. They took away your innocence. We forgot our strong defense.

The song was well received well by the audience, who undoubtedly saw the pain in Jamie Lynn’s face as she sang the very personal lyrics.

The 21-year-old singer took to her Twitter account after the show to thank her fans for all their support, but didn’t go into any further detail about the poignant tune.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight! So very appreciated!
