Ariana Grande has released a remix of her song “The Boy Is Mine” featuring R&B icons Brandy and Monica.
The remix sees Brandy and Monica reuniting on the track, which was originally released as a duet between the two artists in 1998.ย ย In the new version, Brandy and Monica’s vocals blend seamlessly as they sing about the boy they both want.
Ariana Grande expressed her disbelief and gratitude at having Brandy and Monica join her on the remix, calling it a “near impossible” honor.ย
The collaboration marks a significant moment of reconciliation between Brandy and Monica, who had a distant relationship for nearly a decade before reconnecting.ย
The Boy Is Mine Remix Ariana Grande Lyrics (ft. Brandy & Monica)
Ah, yeah
Mmm, mmm
How can it be? You and me
Might be meant to be, can’t unsee it
But I don’t wanna cause no scene
I’m usually so unproblematic
So independent, tell me why
‘Cause the boy is mine, mine
Somethin’ about him is made for somebody like me
Baby, come over, come over (Over)
And God knows I’m tryin’, but there’s just no use in denying
The boy is mine
I can’t wait to try him
Le-let’s get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time (Watch me take my time)
I can’t believe my mind (I can’t believe my mind)
The boy is divine
Boy is mine
Please know this ain’t what I planned for
Probably wouldn’t bet a dime or my life on
There’s gotta be a reason why
My girls, they always come through in a sticky situation
Say, “It’s fine” (It’s fine)
Happens all the time
Somethin’ about him is made for somebody like me
Baby, come over, come over (Over)
And God knows I’m tryin’, but there’s just no use in denying
The boy is mine
I can’t wait to try him
Le-let’s get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time (Watch me take my time)
I can’t believe my mind (I can’t believe my mind)
The boy is divine
Boy isโ (The boy is, oh)
And I know that this is meant to be and I
I’ll show you accountability and empathy and sympathy
How could you still be so disillusioned after all of this time, time?
I told you once before, I’ll tell you once more, the boy is still mine, mine
Yeah, said he wanna make plans with me, but I don’t fuck with affairs, you see (I know)
But listen what they say to me, if it ain’t broke, then it can’t be broken (Be broken)
Well, he better sort out his business, ’cause I’ll never be nobody’s mistress (I know, I know, I know)
Mine, mine, mine
But I can’t ignore my heart, boy
The boy is mine (Mine)
I can’t wait to try him (Ooh yeah, can’t wait to try him, ooh)
Le-let’s get intertwined (Let’s get intertwined)
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine (Mine)
Watch me take my time
I can’t believe my mind
The boy is divine (Oh, oh)
Boy is mine (Mine, mine)
I can’t wait to try him (I can’t wait to try)
Le-let’s get intertwined
The stars, they aligned (The stars)
The boy is mine (Oh, woah, oh)
Watch me take my time (Oh, watch me take my time)
I can’t believe my mind (Woah, I can’t believe my mind, no)
The boy is divine
The boy is mine
