Brandy and Monica had both established themselves as R&B breakouts by 1998, but the two artists had yet to top the Billboard Hot 100.
Each had come close: Monica's "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" hit No. 2 in 1995, and Brandy's "Sittin' Up in My Room" did so in 1996.
They would finally reach No. 1 together on "The Boy Is Mine," a duet in which they snipe over the same love interest.
According to Monica, she and Brandy chose the song to make light of persistent media speculation that they were feuding. "People compared us and I never understood it," Monica told Fred Bronson for his Billboard Book of Number One Hits. "They never did that...with Brandy and Aaliyah. It was always Brandy and Monica," she said. "That's why we took the song."
Full Lyrics: Brandy and Monica's ‘The Boy Is Mine’
The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine
Excuse me can I please talk to you for a minute?
Uh huh sure, you know you look kinda familiar
Yeah you do to, but I just wanted to know do you know somebody named?
You know his name
Oh yeah definitely I know his name
Well I just want to let you that he's mine
Huh no, no he's mine
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 (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up (ooh)
Had about enough (had about enough)
It's not hard to see (he's mine, he's mine, he's mine, he's mine)
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)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (no, no)
You need to give it up (you need to give it up)
Had about enough ('bout enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (mine, ohh)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
You need to give it up (not yours, but mine)
Had about enough (not yours, but mine)
It's not hard to see (not yours, but mine)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Monica’s age and career
Monica Denise Arnold was born in College Park, Georgia, on Oct. 24, 1980, to parents Marilyn Best and M.C. “Billy” Arnold Jr, according to IMDb.
Best was a church singer and Monica followed in her mother’s footsteps by performing during services when she was a child. The songbird frequently entered talent competitions and joined a traveling gospel choir when she was 10. A year later, she was discovered by music producer Dallas Austin. Her first album, Miss Thang, was released in 1995.
That album included the smash hits “Don’t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days),” “Before You Walk Out of My Life,” and “Why I Love You So Much.” Monica then teamed up with Brandy for “The Boy Is Mine,” which was released in 1998. It became one of the biggest hits in America that year.

Brandy’s age and career
Brandy Norwood is older than Monica. IMDb notes that she was born in McComb, Mississippi, on Feb. 11, 1979, to parents Sonja and Willie Norwood.
Brandy also came from a musical family as her father was a gospel singer and choir director. And like Monica, she began singing in the church choir at a young age. Her dad was a voice coach for her and her brother, Ray J, and in 1993 he got her a recording contract with the Atlantic Recording Corporation.
Brandy released her self-titled album in 1994. It included the top 10 singles “I Wanna Be Down,” “Baby,” and “Best Friend.” Another one of her chart-topping singles titled “Sittin’ Up in My Room” was released the following year on the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack.
