1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   In the lead: "...was written by Cyrus", and later in the "Background" section, and again in the audio caption, Cyrus is credited as the sole writer. These instances should be perhaps be changed to "co-written", as the song's infobox indicates there are two other writers.

• In the "Background" section: "Cyrus later recorded the song for her debut album, Meet Miley Cyrus." - The source provided shows information on the "Artist Karaoke Series: Miley Cyrus" album. Maybe this album is what the prose was meant to reference?
• In the "Critical reception" section: "Heather Phares of Allmusic stated that since Cyrus did not make a memorable impression in the first Hannah Montana soundtrack as herself, the voice change Cyrus used to differentiate herself from her television character worked well" - This sentence is really an overall comment on the album as a whole, not "I Miss You". I would remove this.

1. B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   In the "Background" section, it states the song "incorporates pop rock and soft rock elements" - The source provided does not indicate this; it states only that "the arrangements are more organic and rock-oriented". Further, this description was not assigned to "I Miss You" specifically, but to "several songs" on the album.

• "...which inspired Cyrus to write 'I Miss You'". - While I believe this to be a truthful statement, the source provided does not credit Cyrus as a songwriter. I would substitute another source that more clearly expresses that her grandfather's death inspired Miley to write the song.
• In the "Live performances" section: I see that this page indicates Cyrus performed the song on Oprah, but what about the "sky-like" background, and why is that in quotes?
• In the "Critical reception" section: "Joseph P. Kahn of the Boston Globe mentioned that the song "surpass[es] much of what's heard on Radio Disney" - Kahn only noted parenthetically that Cyrus writes songs, including "I Miss You". The comment about "surpassing much of what's heard on Radio Disney" refers to "her tunes". This should be removed from the article.
• "Maitland McDonagh of TV Guide described the song as 'a vague rocker-chick grab' that showed how much she loved her grandfather." The "vaguely rocker-chick garb" refers to her clothing in-concert, so for commentary on "I Miss You", the reviewer only says that "she sings about...how much she loved her grandfather".
