O single “The Boy Is Mine” estreou na lista de singles de Monica como um dueto com Brandy e manteve a faixa no topo da Billboard Hot 100 por 13 semanas consecutivas, sendo a música mais vendida nos EUA naquele ano.
O mesmo dueto também alcançou o primeiro lugar em três países além dos EUA, incluindo o Canadá, Holanda e Nova Zelândia.
A produção do álbum contou com os nomes de Dallas Austin, Colin Wolfe e Daryl Simmons, além de David Foster, Diane Warren, Jermaine Dupri e Rodney Jerkins/Blackchild, refletindo uma fusão de gospel, R&B e hip‑hop.
“The Boy Is Mine” foi lançada como single principal e, junto com “The First Night” e “Angel of Mine”, contribuiu para que o álbum atingisse a segunda posição no Top R&B Albums em agosto de 1998.
A faixa foi lançada em um contexto de maior controle criativo por Monica sobre o material, marcando uma “progressão natural” desde seu álbum de estreia “Miss Thang”.
Embora o álbum tenha sido certificado triplamente platina nos EUA, a música alcançou o top‑20 em mercados internacionais como França, Japão, Holanda, Nova Zelândia e Suíça.
