The Boy Is Mine (Ariana Grande song)
"The Boy Is Mine" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande from her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine (2024). It was released through Republic Records on June 7, 2024, as the album’s third single. The song was written by Grande, Max Martin, Shintaro Yasuda, and Davidior, who produced the song alongside Ilya. Inspired by a leaked demo Grande made for a comedy sketch, the song is an R&B track that reimagines the 1998 duet of the same name by American singers Brandy and Monica. Later, a remix with Brandy and Monica was released on June 21, 2024. The remix received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
Upon release, "The Boy Is Mine" received positive reviews from music critics for its '90s R&B sound and sultry lyrical content. The song peaked within the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100 as an album track. Grande promoted the single with performances at the 2024 Met Gala and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. A music video directed by Christian Breslauer was released on June 7, 2024, starring Grande as Catwoman and American actor Penn Badgley as her love interest, with additional cameos from Brandy and Monica.
An unreleased song by Grande entitled "Fantasize" was leaked in full to Spotify by fans in 2023. Recorded in 2021, Grande said that the song was a demo that was not intended to be released as a single by her and that she wrote it for a comedy sketch about a girl group that ultimately was not released. Upon learning of the leak, she commented under a TikTok video that she was disheartened and asked people to stop spreading the leaks.
"Fantasize" was positively received by fans, inspiring Grande to include elements of the song for her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine (2024). According to Grande, "The Boy Is Mine" was one of the first ideas she and Max Martin worked on for the album. During an interview about the album, Grande referred to "The Boy Is Mine" as her version of "Fantasize" and stated about her leaked songs "although you've heard them — because you stole them — they're very different now."
"The Boy Is Mine" was one of the last few track titles to be revealed on February 27, 2024, as track 8. The song was confirmed by Grande to be the album's next single on May 7. After the music video released, the song impacted US contemporary hit radio on June 11. It later impacted US rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radio stations on June 25. This would make the song her first crossover single since "Side to Side". The song would be released as a single exclusively for digital download, later streaming and physicals. The single included the remix, an instrumental, and a capella versions of the original and the remix.
"The Boy Is Mine" is two minutes and 53 seconds long. The song is described as a trap-influenced R&B song with bass-heavy instrumentation echoing late '90s and early 2000s R&B-pop music. The song begins with the melody of the pre-chorus playing. Grande then sings about how this love interest of hers is destined to be with her, claiming him as hers. The pre-chorus features Grande expressing how something about her crush is made for her, saying there's no use in denying it. The track's tempo slows down before jumping into the chorus, where she states the stars align for this relationship. In the song's bridge, Grande exclaims how her relationship with her love interest is meant to be, taking accountability for any drama created. As intended by Grande when creating the parent album's track list, the song follows and plays off the same idea of the album's seventh track, "True Story", playing the role the media expects her to play.
Grande described "The Boy Is Mine" as a reimagining of the similarly titled 1998 single by Brandy and Monica, which was about two women fighting over the affection of one man. She was inspired by her fans' appreciation for "Fantasize" because of what she called its "bad bitch" energy, and she told Zane Lowe during an Apple Music 1 interview: "there is a large group of my fans that really do love a bad girl anthem, and this is an elevated version of that." In the lyrics, Grande expresses her affection for a man with whom she believes she is destined to be in a romance.
Grande announced on May 27 that the music video for "The Boy Is Mine" would be released on June 7. Christian Breslauer, who worked on the visuals for both "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" from Eternal Sunshine, commented on Grande's teaser and shared the sneak peek on his own Instagram account. "Get your popcorn, take your seats," Breslauer wrote on Grande's post; "ACT III… soon", said the music video director on his personal Instagram page.
