"The Boy Is Mine" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande from her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine (2024). It impacted American contemporary hit radio on June 11, 2024, as the third single from the album. 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.
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. Two weeks later, a remix of the song 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.
