Brandy: 'I'm Grateful For What I Have' | Interview (1) | TMF

Interview with Brandy and VJ Sylvana Simons and presentation of the gold record for Brandy & Monica - "The Boy Is Mine" in the TMF studio in 1998.
"The Boy Is Mine" is a compelling R&B duet performed by American singers Brandy and Monica. Released in 1998, it served as the lead single for both artists' second albums, "Never Say Never" by Brandy and "The Boy Is Mine" by Monica. The song, inspired by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's "The Girl Is Mine," revolves around two women in a mid-tempo R&B track, expressing their rivalry over a man.

The song received positive reviews, marking the first number-one pop hit for both Brandy and Monica in the US and internationally. Capitalizing on media speculation of a rivalry between the two singers, the track became the best-selling song of the year in the US, spending an impressive 13 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Notably, it achieved a historic leap to number one from below the Top 20, a feat previously accomplished only by the Beatles in 1964.

Directed by Joseph Kahn, the accompanying music video starred Brandy, Monica, and Mekhi Phifer, earning nominations for Video of the Year and Best R&B Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. The song received multiple accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. Billboard recognized it as the Hot 100 Sales Single of the Year and included it in various all-time charts. In 2012, Brandy and Monica collaborated again on the single "It All Belongs to Me."
