14 years after Monica and Brandy released the 1998 hit The
Boy is Mine, the singers have put something new on wax. But
this time, the girls are confiding in one another, not feuding
over a lover.
Entitled, It All Belongs to Me, their new song captures the
anger of two women who’ve been betrayed and hurt by their
respective men.
“It’s a very soulful Rn’B song with pop sensibilities,” producer
Rico Love told Rap-Up.com. “I wanted to make sure I made it
a classic Rn’B record, but I definitely wanted to make sure that
it had enough appeal to cross over and become a Top 40
record.”
Despite the industry’s innate competitive nature, Brandy told
Rap-Up that she’s excited to do something new with Monica.
“This business is all about competition,” she said.
“They forgot about what is the most important, which is two
talents coming together. It’s just great to come back and do
something with Monica. This is definitely a blessing.”
