The Boy is Mine

"The Boy is Mine" is a 1998 duet by female R&B singers Brandy and Monica. The song's lyrics tell a story about two women disputing the love of a man; they were inspired by Paul McCartney and Micheal Jackson's 1982 duet "The Girl Is Mine".

Although Monica had visited Brandy in Los Angeles to record the song together, the joint recording was felt to be a failure. She returned to Atlanta and recorded her vocals separately.
