fun fact :) this song interpolates the og version “the boy is mine” by brandy and monica. (they cameo as the news reporters at the beginning of the vid) she also has a version with them*
if i remember correctly, this doesn’t actually interpolate the original; in an interview, Ariana says that she wrote this almost as a sequel to the original, but the only thing she actually took from the original is the title. the sonic elements are unrelated to the original the boy is mine.
@@usmanmoazzam4341 oh i thought i read that it doesnt sample the song but still technically interpolates. either way i still think its important to acknowledge brandy and monica. still cool tho!!! :))
@@spookybingus nah no interpolation. totally agree though, i was so excited when brandy and monica showed up in the video, and even more so when they hopped on the remix.
@@usmanmoazzam4341 every article i read keeps telling me she does technically interpolate lyrics. oh well lmao yah i luv the remix as well! exciting to see them in the vid.
This song is so catchy! I haven’t stopped listening to it since it came out. You guys should check out some of Ariana’s vevo live performances from her positions album or eternal sunshine album ❤️
This is the reaction I've been waiting for! The best reaction I've seen by you guys. You guys crushed this one! This song reminds me of that little bald one. That boy is mine and only mine.
Yay! Thank you guys so much for reacting to the video that I requested! :) So the lore behind this song is that "The Boy Is Mine" is a spin off of "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy & Monica from the late 90's. The reporters that you saw at the beginning of the video actually is Brandy and Monica themselves! You guys also hit the nail on the head about how Penn Badgley is the stalker in You, and is being the one stalked in this video. Earlier this year, the media went crazy after her divorce with her ex-husband and how she is currently dating Ethan Slater (who recently had a baby and left his wife) and the media was blaming her for what happened, so she wrote this song about being the villian that people "think" she is.
regarding the lore, people were connecting it to her recent controversy where she was deemed a “homewrecker” (which isn’t even true) because it mirrors the lyrics of the song, in actuality, the reason she wrote this is because she has this unreleased song called “fantasize” that leaked last year in the height of the allegations which went super viral on tiktok and everywhere, it even charted on spotify. people loved it so much, they were begging her to officially release it which is an irony considering they were tearing her down and calling her such names while simultaneously illegally enjoying and wanting her to release a song about stealing somebody else’s man but that’s a story for another day, anyway, “fantasize” isn’t even supposed to be her’s, it’s for a tv show by Seth MacFarlane that got scrapped alongside other songs Ariana wrote for the soundtrack. so instead of officially releasing “fantasize” she made “the boy is mine” as her own version for her upcoming album that came out at the beginning of this year. i will say tho, the lyrics of the song doesn’t mean she’s confirming the allegations, the real meaning of the song works better in the context of the album because it is placed just after a song that basically means “if this is the version of me you made up in your head, then i will be that very exact person” which is called “true story.”
I've always escaped the spoiler about who's the gossip girl, never knew, but always wanting to watch the show, I guess I came to the wrong reaction to find out the answer
How did you not shout out the Brandy and Monica cameo at the beginning (anchorwomen)?! The original “That Boy Is Mine” singers. Good grief, I must be old. (or Ari as catwoman must be too distracting)
she has tons of others great music videos like : we can be friends ( more recent), no tears left to cry & god is a woman
