Just a day before her new album Eternal Sunshine’s March 8 release, popstar Ariana Grande sat down for an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. She revealed that in one of the tracks, The Boy is Mine, she takes up the bad girl persona her fans have been looking for.


What did Ariana say about The Boy is Mine? 

Ariana Grande opened up about her new album and one of the tracks, The Boy is Mine. The singer said, “It’s kind of like, okay, ‘I’ll play the bad girl, here’s your bad girl anthem. ‘“ referring to her fans who have apparently been waiting for her to come out with a bad girl persona in one of her songs. Grande also said that people should listen to another track from the album, True Story, which will set them up for The Boy is Mine. 

The singer also of course answered all the questions about The Boy is Mine, which was also the title of Brandy and Monica’s 1998 smash hit, and ruled the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a long time. Ariana said that she absolutely loves that song and it was the inspiration behind her new track. “I’ve always wanted to reimagine that song in some kind of way,” the singer revealed.

And this is kind of an elevated version of that,” the singer said. She also said that the song will feature some parts of Fantasize, which was an unreleased track which leaked and went viral on Tiktok.
