Ariana Grande recruits Brandy and Monica for ‘The Boy is Mine’ remix

Ariana Grande announced that Brandy and Monica will join her for a remix of her song ‘The Boy is Mine,’ off her latest album, Eternal Sunshine.. The remix comes two decades after Brandy and Monica hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts for their hit song of the same name; their song ‘The Boy is Mine’ spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998.

Grande posted on her social media: “｡˚ ♡ ☼ THE BOY IS MINE REMIX with @brandy and @monicadenise june 21st .ﾟ*ꕤ i ……… cannot believe this is real (i don’t know if i will even long after it’s out) my deepest and sincerest thank you to Brandy and Monica, not only for joining me for this moment, but for your generosity, your kindness, and for the countless ways in which you have inspired me. it is near impossible to say how much this means to me. this is in celebration of you both and the impact that you have had on every vocalist, vocal producer, musician, artist that is creating today. i loooooove you both so so much. thank you !!!!!!!

The announcement comes just days after Brandy and Monica made surprise cameos in Grande’s Catwoman-themed “The Boy is Mine” music video that debuted on June 14. In the video, Grande stalks Penn Badgley, who plays a newly elected mayor who releases stray cats into the streets of a city resembling New York to cure a rat infestation. Brandy and Monica introduce music video viewers to the story.
