Brandy and Monica reunited for Ariana Grande's music video for "The Boy Is Mine," the song from Ariana’s seventh studio album “Eternal Sunshine” which is a fresh take on their iconic 1998 hit, showed the singers as news reporters. The reunion continued as Grande announced the remix to the song which would feature Brandy and Monica. The song which dropped Friday, June 21.

With behind the scenes clips, we see Monica and Brandy speaking on how the reunion came together and what this moment means. "The process of the new collaboration did a lot of closing the gaps," Monica told E News. "When you properly communicate something, you can find not only the resolutions and solutions to problems. But sometimes you find that there weren't ever problems, just consistent miscommunications. It made it a lot easier just to talk."

The Boy is Mine (1998) from Brandy’s “Never Say Never” and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” albums celebrated its 26th anniversary.

With this reunion and discussion of mended friendships between Brandy and Monica, can we see this leading to the highly anticipated joint tour that everyone is hoping will happen? Will there be more collaborations in the future?

We will have to stay tuned.
