Thats the job of a Record Producer. Rodney Jerkins produced Brandy's vocals in a seperate studio from Dallas Austin. Rodney often works with a Vocal Producer as well most noticable Lashawn Daniels RIP. Dallas Austin handeled Monicas Vocal production. Rodney also created the insturmental track and hired Larry Gold that arranged the strings for the song. Strings were recorded at Larry Golds studio in Philadelphia.
faacts.. I remember that time cause I lived it but shii I wish I was old enough to go out and party.. what a great time the music was something else the people were different
It really was! As a black girl in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean we didn't have any local teen stars to look up to. Brandy and Monica were it for us. Monica was more mainstream here but I always loved Brandy. I remember a boyfriend asking me why I always had to be so contrary; everyone liked Monica so I had to like Brandy. But that wasn't it. I always loved Brandy's music because it was unique and her voice is low for a female like mine. I bought a poster of her in the mall and it was up in my room even when I became an adult. My mom asked me if I didn't want to take it down now that I was grown. I said what for? It only came down when I repainted. This generation has a young soca (our local blend of calypso, classical Indian music, pop and afro beats) diva called Nailah Blackman to look up to and enjoy. I had Brandy and it was indeed a privilege to be her peer, even though she's a bit older than me. I also admired Tia and Tamera.
@@annisaarthur-castro6227 SAME HERE. i always preferred Brandy more than Monica. even tho i’m only 17 now, so my Brandy obsession started when they added Moesha to netflix, but i’m so glad i discovered her. i love her music so much. I even watched Sister Sister when they added it to netflix, so i love Tia and Tamera too!!
These R&B chicks from the late 90s were like gangsters: sexy, smooth and with killer voices. TLC, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Childs, all were destroying it back in the day.
All good things must come to an end. Remember the old head call this music 🗑 while young people of today call Beyonce and Riri Queen of rnb. CardiB and Megan the stallion rappers
There was something in Brandy's demeanor back then that a lot of kpop since 1st generation of girl groups and female soloists applied in mvs and overall aesthetics. From her innocent stare and her poise, to the way she performed the songs. You can still see it in newer kpop generation of idols. That industry is shaped (aside from stealing) thanks to r&b and hip-hop culture.
Fun Fact: Brandy originally wrote this song as a concept from watching The Jerry Springer Show and originally recorded as a solo track and later approached Monica about recording it as a duet to combat ongoing rumors that they were rivals. Genius‼️

Monica and Brandy have different tones and voices. That’s why this song Work. They both won Grammys for this song. They both brought it. But I really a Fan of Monica, and I like Brandy. Tell the truth and shame the devil they both were great.
It's incredible this song was a SMASH HIT when it came out, not only in USA, I live in Latin America and radios played this song over and over again. I started to love R&B music with this classic, even now 23 years later I can listen to it 1000 times in a row.
This is a GOLD school track and it is BRAND SANGing NEW!!!! that is why you are ON here in 2020 listening to this NEW HIT!!!! this is classHEAL!!!! This GOLD is HERB and This HERB is PLATINUM!!!! :-D
The music industry is still booming and is worth billions of dollars as far as I can remember. Brandy needs the music industry not the other way around. Artists come and go but the industry is stay foot.
The fact that Monica can do a whole concert setlist without this song and her fans would leave with a full stomach satisfied says alot However Love me some Brandy and Monica
I'm not really into RnB, but I adore this song. It's exceptionally well crafted. Fantastic melody, great lyrics, wonderful arrangement. Just top notch.
This song for me wasn’t even the competition of whom the “ boy” belonged to but to two beautiful women who came together to showcase and bless us with their talents at the same time! ♥️♥️
You probably are and if you don't think that you are , you can be(for yourself ofc). Most people think that they can't but just try to take really good care of your skin(keep it cleansed and moisturized and if you're in your late 20s start anti aging creams\serums because that helps keep your skin nice) for a long time even when you're older) Take care of your hair\scalp and stay healthy and do exercise and try to be active and eat better. If you put junk in your body it'll show on the outside.You can even be a bigger girl|guy but still be at a healthy weight and be beautiful and active. You don't need to be small if not already. Remember: Health>Looks I hope a healthy routine helps you achieve the looks and body that you want.
It's insane to think how huge this song was for both of their careers. And I lived it. I remember when this gem came out and still go back and listen to it. Just a timeless song that will always be a favorite and a song played at max volume. Monica and brandy awesome duo.

I’m not sure about all that. They don’t make as good music like they use to. After Monica made Commitment and Brandy made Put It Down the rest of their songs were hot garbage
Facts or definitely tru?...you will never give it up because this song forever will be a classic only wish Brandy and Monica do an album and full worldwide tour.
Brandy said that when she was approached with this song she knew from jump it needed Monica she said she knew that she wanted to work with her b4 this song was even thought of so when she got this song she wasn't going to do if Monica couldn't be on it. Thank you Brandy for one of the best collaborations in history
The harmony in the chorus is what caught me when I was little. The stacking on those background vocals just makes me melt, especially on the outro. And they just make the song a little darker.
This needs to make a comeback on the radio. Puts today's noise to shame. Real voices and real talent! Thanks for taking us back to our younger years ladies!!!
"THE BOY IS MINE" TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY June 6, 1998 - 23 Years Ago Today: Brandy & Monica began a 13-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "The Boy Is Mine." This was Brandy's seventh single release and her fifth Top Ten and first No. 1. This was Monica's 5th single release and her 5th Top Ten and first No. 1. The single went through the roof and became the song of the summer going to the top of the chart in its 2nd chart week and remaining at No. 1 until September 5, 1998 until Aerosmith took over with their four-week run at the top with their single, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." "The Boy Is Mine," was the No. 7 Hot 100 single of the decade. It was written by LaShawn Daniels, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, Jape Tejeda and Brandy Norwood. (05/06/2021)

Singing wise I would add Aaliyah but I don't think song writing was her thing. I would have liked to see her fashion range she was planning before she died. Brandy and Beyoncé have different tones and styles this is Brandy's song.
@szarobyn mariah is r&b stfu. her first album was Pop R&B, her second was mostly R&B with soul, gospel, and some disco influences. Her third was Adult Contemporary Pop, Her fourth was Christmas, and her fifth was an R&B album. and everything that came after was R&B so stfu, shes made more r&b songs than whitney's entire discography.
They are so naturally gorgeous unlike celebrities today. Also, their voices oh my. I wish I could go back in time. I was a child but those were some amazing years.

Nice of you to put up the lyrics as forgetting some of it. Not necessarily those over 30, can still remember all the lyrics. Thanks Leticia F for putting them up. Much appreciated.
Shoutout to the songwriters because the lyrics were so cleverly executed. They’re basically having a verbal cat fight the entire song and they both just keep 1-upping each other with the sass and shade, matched with the epic vocals and you have a masterpiece. Really one of the best duets in r&b and pop history. They nailed it.
It's that concept of the perfect woman....one is classy and articulate the other one very fiesty but honest of the two I can imagine Brandy more likely to break into her bf car smash it if she gets mad... Monica would just take him to court or trap him in a marriage
I remember when this song debut on radio it blew up the charts. Was the jam back in the day and it's still soooo good. They don't make music like this anymore.
For those of us in our 30s and 40s, this MS was a huge hit for a long time. I remember MTV played it most of the day at people`s request. More than 25 years after its release Ariana made it a well-deserved tribute to Brandy and Monica...too much talent for these women

Monica and Brandy have different tones and voices. That’s why this song Work. They both won Grammys for this song. They both brought it. But I really a Fan of Monica, and I like Brandy. Tell the truth and shame the devil they both were great.
Fan of brandy & Monica equal love both original like Monica
Happy 30th Anniversary Brandy !! I love You your music help me thru it all! Forever Icon
Class from start to finish
Right. They carried themselves very well. Like elegant queens 🌸💕🌺🍷
It's incredible this song was a SMASH HIT when it came out, not only in USA, I live in Latin America and radios played this song over and over again. I started to love R&B music with this classic, even now 23 years later I can listen to it 1000 times in a row.
Was massive in South Africa too.
It was banging in the U.K.
Me too
hell yeah i live in a little country in europe and it was always on the radio
Wow that is impressive. Worldwide.

The music from late 90s early 2000s is untouchable. Its peak

for real and am enjoying them
Baby what was you doin... you needed a pandemic to realize this?
This video is the epitome of late 90s early 2000s aesthetic. When I was little I was obsessed because it was so modern and fresh. 😍

Mid 90's to Y2K were so opulent.
Stop calling it y2k pls
Brandy is GORGEOUS!
👍🏽

Both are beautiful
fuck heather i wanna be brandy🥰
Brandy was my first crush and is still crush to this day.
This is arguably one of Brandy's best and well known songs, what would the music industry be like without her
The music industry is still booming and is worth billions of dollars as far as I can remember. Brandy needs the music industry not the other way around. Artists come and go but the industry is stay foot.
@@absisfabs873 chill its just a comment not that deep 😭😭
The fact that Monica can do a whole concert setlist without this song and her fans would leave with a full stomach satisfied says alot However Love me some Brandy and Monica
@@absisfabs873 you got is wrong
Most of songs out now won't be playing in 23years time
Brandy looks so damn good in this video
I'm not really into RnB, but I adore this song. It's exceptionally well crafted. Fantastic melody, great lyrics, wonderful arrangement. Just top notch.
Who's not into RnB? lol RnB is life haha
I'm not really into RnB either, people have different music tastes but sometimes a song will transcend that, this is one of those songs!
That's racist
And beautiful vocals. Its nice to listen to it overall.
@@kevaunmitchell1316 How is it racist??
This song for me wasn’t even the competition of whom the “ boy” belonged to but to two beautiful women who came together to showcase and bless us with their talents at the same time! ♥️♥️
Totally true! Was not about the boy at all, It was all about two beautiful and talented ladies showing their incredible vocals.
Nah the lyrics are clearly about a boy they are fighting over in a artistic sense lol. So stop the cap.
@@samdatech are you slow? They said what the song means to them, not the song in general.
That's it! F*** the boy, it's about the goddesses!
@@samdatech Who do think won the boy.
2023 & this song still hits! Brandy’s voice is TIMELESS
Monica voice is strong and full. Love that gospel sound.

Love this song ❤
I'm here because I thought Sza's Kill Bill sounds familiar.
Period
Si vous lisiez ce commentaire c’est que vous êtes vraiment incroyablement belle / beau et gentille/ gentil ne douter pas de vous ❤
Can we just talk about how there both like so pretty, like I could never-
Monica is kinda cute too
Their skin is so gorgeous and bright without heavy foundation.
You probably are and if you don't think that you are , you can be(for yourself ofc). Most people think that they can't but just try to take really good care of your skin(keep it cleansed and moisturized and if you're in your late 20s start anti aging creams\serums because that helps keep your skin nice) for a long time even when you're older)
Take care of your hair\scalp and stay healthy and do exercise and try to be active and eat better. If you put junk in your body it'll show on the outside.You can even be a bigger girl|guy but still be at a healthy weight and be beautiful and active. You don't need to be small if not already. Remember: Health>Looks
I hope a healthy routine helps you achieve the looks and body that you want.

I was in so much shock
IKKRRR WHAATT I WAS SOO PROUDD

Mee... Arrrggghhh. Its so memorable.
*13 year old me wants to go to high school to live out this song*

I was thinking the same thing.... Lol... I'm also 35
But we love the plot twist - they called him out ✔️
Try 54 and the kids are grown and you got 3 grandkids 🤦🏻♀️
Actually update get them back be dedicated to none and have fun !!!
True dat
"A delightful duet of epic proportion! The harmonies, musical arrangement and energy felt from this song is nostalgia infused". Beautiful
Man,haven't listened to this song in a LONG time !! Nostalgic ride back to the 90s.
Being released nowadays, this song would still hit #1 in the charts. Cult.
No way! R&B is so dead in 2020. Just look at all the cheap rap songs topping the Hot 100 this year. What a mess!
Hell yeah it would, people don't hear songs like this anymore
that would be too bad, if girls' mindset hasn't evolved beyond fighting over boys yet.
@@voiceofreason2237 Sorry but I don't call 2020's rap songs R&B, I don't even call this music so it doesn't even compare.
@@DoomsayerStudios Totally !
Best! Most iconic duet of all time!! To this day there’s never been a better duet. This is history!!
It's insane to think how huge this song was for both of their careers. And I lived it. I remember when this gem came out and still go back and listen to it. Just a timeless song that will always be a favorite and a song played at max volume. Monica and brandy awesome duo.
Did they ever do a versus.
This song ruled the summer of 98, such a special time!
This song is technically one of the best songs ever recorded.
A master piece in Dolby Technology.The sound effects are slow and cool.

Their voices paired so well together Just like Whitney and MC did . I really want Brandy & Monica to collab on a new project.
So do i
They did another song together

Brandy and Monica are two , beautiful talented legends in music. They are still doing their thing to this day.
The boy look familiar
I’m not sure about all that. They don’t make as good music like they use to. After Monica made Commitment and Brandy made Put It Down the rest of their songs were hot garbage
100% agree!
Yes they are. Both are amazing in their way and made this classic and iconic.
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc he played in this Christmas with Chris brown, and a few other movies
This is honestly one of the greatest music videos ever made.
Facts or definitely tru?...you will never give it up because this song forever will be a classic only wish Brandy and Monica do an album and full worldwide tour.
Brandy said that when she was approached with this song she knew from jump it needed Monica she said she knew that she wanted to work with her b4 this song was even thought of so when she got this song she wasn't going to do if Monica couldn't be on it. Thank you Brandy for one of the best collaborations in history
Who is the boy again he looks familiar
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc mekhi phifer
Awesome
Vocally the best collaboration ever🤎❤️
This is Monica's song it's on her album which is also titled "The Boy Is Mine"
The harmony in the chorus is what caught me when I was little. The stacking on those background vocals just makes me melt, especially on the outro. And they just make the song a little darker.
The intro for me
"...had about enough" that upward inflection in Brandi's part in the harmony. It very subtly rings through the chorus.
Brandy did all the background vocals. It was the beginning of her mastering the stacking technique. it is sonically genius.
This song could have never been made today. Really sad , but atleast it exist to fantasize about. Thank you 90's brandy.
Queen's.. Crown Them 👑
Message to the future generations.
Don't let this song die!
but I came here because of Kill Bill, they have similar progression
I wont I promise
They better not ❤
I'm 15 and I love this song
100 years from now, I won’t be alive but I know people will still be playing this song. Don’t let it Die. ( i am 25)
Still one of the greatest song's of the 90s 😊
its not a 90s song though im just saying
@What.you.want224 this version released in 1998 or 1997
And I I know this song is inspired by old MJ song
I agree!
Don’t be confused, Ari’s song is different but with the same title
Brandy’s voice is smooth and calming while Monica’s voice is deep and strong
So who do you think won the vocals and deliverance on this song?
@Top-NotchDK I'm so glad that you recognized that! I totally agree
This is so CLASSY!!!!!!! ❤
How can someone dislike this? This is an absolute classic.
Crazy cuase brandy and mekhi phifer was in I still know what you did last summer as a couple

This needs to make a comeback on the radio. Puts today's noise to shame. Real voices and real talent! Thanks for taking us back to our younger years ladies!!!
"THE BOY IS MINE"
TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY
June 6, 1998 - 23 Years Ago Today: Brandy & Monica began a 13-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "The Boy Is Mine." This was Brandy's seventh single release and her fifth Top Ten and first No. 1. This was Monica's 5th single release and her 5th Top Ten and first No. 1. The single went through the roof and became the song of the summer going to the top of the chart in its 2nd chart week and remaining at No. 1 until September 5, 1998 until Aerosmith took over with their four-week run at the top with their single, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." "The Boy Is Mine," was the No. 7 Hot 100 single of the decade. It was written by LaShawn Daniels, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, Jape Tejeda and Brandy Norwood. (05/06/2021)
Excellent comment thank you for the info. I remember this as a smash hit and takes me back hard to my teenage years

You never heard of Beyoncé 🤔

@@oloatis2182 she dont come close, I miss Brandy on TV!
Singing wise I would add Aaliyah but I don't think song writing was her thing. I would have liked to see her fashion range she was planning before she died. Brandy and Beyoncé have different tones and styles this is Brandy's song.
@@lisajones2412, Moesha😍😍
Aaliyah brandy and monica were the best in the 90s for woman singers and still playing them in 2021
R.I.P. Aaliyah 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They’re one of the best, but in my opinion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are the best.
@@Pinkk571 I think they meant in R&B
@@_kgreen Mariah is r&b and Whitney is pop
@szarobyn mariah is r&b stfu. her first album was Pop R&B, her second was mostly R&B with soul, gospel, and some disco influences. Her third was Adult Contemporary Pop, Her fourth was Christmas, and her fifth was an R&B album. and everything that came after was R&B so stfu, shes made more r&b songs than whitney's entire discography.

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
Think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man, are you insane?
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make it
Through the day, ain't that a shame?
But maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
All my love was all it took (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (confused, ohh)
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
Must you do the things you do?
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it, girl it's true
I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake
When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know, the boy is mine, ohh
You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see (to see)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)

The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry you seem to be confused)
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine
You can't destroy this love I found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
The special place that's in my heart?
He was my love right from the start
You need to give it up (give it on up)
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (the boy is mine, oh)
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)

Bravo love you dear
Ppl 30 and over we know the lyrics by ❤
Nice of you to put up the lyrics as forgetting some of it. Not necessarily those over 30, can still remember all the lyrics. Thanks Leticia F for putting them up. Much appreciated.
Shoutout to the songwriters because the lyrics were so cleverly executed. They’re basically having a verbal cat fight the entire song and they both just keep 1-upping each other with the sass and shade, matched with the epic vocals and you have a masterpiece. Really one of the best duets in r&b and pop history. They nailed it.
It's that concept of the perfect woman....one is classy and articulate the other one very fiesty but honest of the two I can imagine Brandy more likely to break into her bf car smash it if she gets mad...
Monica would just take him to court or trap him in a marriage
I remember when this song debut on radio it blew up the charts. Was the jam back in the day and it's still soooo good. They don't make music like this anymore.
