Ariana Grande‘s extremely prepared for Everlasting Sunshine album is making landfall tonight (March 8), and fans had the ability to take pleasure in another bit of details before the complete expose. The Grammy-winning vocalist exposed a cut entitled “The Boy Is Mine” on the main tracklist, which is apparently a re-imagined variation of Brandy and Monica‘s traditional 1998 tune of the very same name.

The Sweetener developer initially mentioned the record throughout her interview on the Zach Sang Show last month. While the 2 discussed her “Fantasize” single being dripped on the web, Grande exposed that she put another “90s woman group ambiance” tune on Everlasting Sunshine to offset the leakage.

[‘Fantasize’] wasn’t my tune and it wasn’t for me. It resembled a parody of a 90s woman group ambiance, They liked it. They liked it a lot,” she informed Sang. “I took the note and I provided Ariana’s variation of that on the album. I would state that exists. A few of those seedlings from that time in fact made their method onto the album.”

She spoke with Zane Lowe and dug more into why she desired to perform the concept. “I’ve constantly wished to re-imagine [‘The Boy Is Mine’] in some sort of method … In a method, I was sort of like, ‘This is a really bad concept.’ There is a big group of my fans that truly do like a bad woman anthem, and this is a raised variation of that,” she stated.

Motivated by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney’s 1982 duet “The Girl Is Mine,” “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica is mostly considered as among their most popular hits. The Never Ever Say Never track offered 2.6 million copies and invested 13 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Monica might not be too fond of the upcoming remake. On the 25th anniversary of her sophomore album,The Boy Is Minethe Atlanta crooner revealed she would choose if the timeless duet with Brandy was Untouched by cover artists

“I honestly think that it’s for Brandy and I,” the songstress detailed to The Hollywood Reporter when inquired about the tune possibly being remade. “I value that she and Rodney [Jerkins] asked me to be a part of the tune and belong of the record, however for me, it’s a part of history that I would enjoy to stay unblemished.”

Throughout the rollout for Everlasting Sunshine, Grande dealt with fans with her “yes, and?” single. Quickly later, she upped the enjoyment by circling around back with a remix including the famous Mariah Carey

The statement was made with a picture of them published on social networks and a gratitude-filled caption: “I can not think the words i am typing… ‘Yes, And?’ Remix task the one and just, queen of my heart and long-lasting motivation @mariahcarey is out this friday!!!!!!!!!!!”

TheWickedstar continued, “There really are no words that are enough. thank you from the bottom of my heart for this dream come to life and for spraying your sparkle and magic on my little song @mariahcarey. It implies more to me than i might ever perhaps articulate and i can not wait on everybody to hear this! i like you permanently !!!!!!!”
