It’s fair to say that a lot of people at first thought that Ariana Grande’s song “Boy Is Mine,” from her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine,” was a cover of the Brandy and Monica duet of the same title that dominated the summer of 1998.
It’s not —but she’s doubled down on the resemblance by teaming up with Brandy and Monica for a remix of the song, which comes out on Friday. Grande made the announcement on social media on Monday morning.
“♡ ☼ THE BOY IS MINE REMIX with@brandyand@monicadenisejune 21st .゚*ꕤ ♾️,” reads the emoji-spangled announcement which comes complete with a video teaser themed on her recently released “Batman”/“Catwoman”-themed video for the song, which co-stars actor Penn Badgley.
