Ariana Grande has brought together Brandy and Monica for a new remix of her version of “The Boy is Mine.” The original hit was released 25 years ago in 1998, and Grande, now 30, included a new version of the song on her Eternal Sunshine album that dropped in March.
Both Brandy, 45, and Monica, 43, made cameos in the music video for the remix earlier this month. However, the R&B icons also lent their voices to the remix of Grande’s track, which was released last Friday.
Monica shared that Grande was the one who came up with the idea for the collaboration, which led to the two former collaborators reconnecting. “What came first was the release of her version [with] Brandy and I both loving it,” Monica explained to Entertainment Tonight’s Denny Directo. “And then the conversations ensued about us being in the video and somewhere along the way, the conversation was had about us doing the remix, but I did not know to what capacity.”
