The remix of "the boy is mine" by Ariana Grande featuring Brandy and Monica is now available. 

Inspired by Brandy and Monica's 1998 Grammy Award-winning song of the same name, the new remix was released on Friday and features the two R&B singers. The song is about two women fighting for the love of a man.

In the remix, the trio sings the pre-chorus and chorus of Grande's upbeat song together, which includes the lyrics, "Something about him is made for somebody like me / Baby come over, come over / And god knows I'm trying / But there's just no use in denying / The boy is mine."

Ariana Grande announces 'the boy is mine' remix with Brandy and Monica


Ariana Grande is present at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2024 Met Gala, which honors "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," on May 6, 2024, in New York.

"The boy is mine / Watch me takе my time / I can't believe my mind / The boy is divine / Boy is mine," the lyrics continue.

In the bridge of the remix, Brandy and Monica nod to their version of "The Boy Is Mine," singing, "How could you still be so disillusioned after all of this time? / I told you once before, I'll tell you once more, the boy is still mine."

"I know / But listen what they say to me / 'If it ain't broke then it can't be broken,'" the lyrics continue. "Well, he better sort out his business, 'cause I'll never be nobody's mistress / But I can't ignore my heart, boy."

In an interview with ET, Monica shared how she once said that "the song should not be touched" and that she "felt that it did not need to be redone in the idea of, let's say, actually doing it the exact way that it was." 

 

Monica, however, declared that she had fallen in love with Grande's rendition, which Max Martin had produced.

"The process of the new collaboration did a lot of closing the gaps," she added.

The remix comes more than 25 years after Brandy and Monica recorded their version of the hit song in 1997 and two weeks after Grande released the music video for her version, which featured Brandy, Monica, and actor Penn Badgley.
