Ariana Grande may have seen her ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ single ‘The Boy is Mine‘ bounce to a #16 peak on the Hot 100 on hype alone, but the official promo push set to support the Max Martin-produced cut sees it poised to reach even higher heights on the hitlist.
Tapped to be the album’s follow-up single behind the chart-topping ‘Yes, And?‘ and ‘We Can’t Be Friends,’ ‘Boy’ – which is a “reimagining” of the historic 1998 Brandy and Monica duet of the same name – got its first taste of the live treatment aboard the Thursday (June 6) episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’
Marking her 11th guest appearance on ‘Fallon’ (as well as her first late-night interview since 2021), hop inside to see how she fared.
During the interview, Grande confirmed the tune’s official music video will premiere on Friday morning (June 7) and that it will star Penn Badgley (of ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘You’ fame) alongside a few unnamed cameos.
Among the speculated guest appearances are Brandy and Monica as Ariana followed both R&B icons shortly after the performance aired.
It was grower but the performance and music video makes me love the song more. Diva is finally clicking with this song and the universe is agree with me. Normani, please take some notes from Ari, since you have none of the above.
