Abstract

This article focuses on Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, *Eternal Sunshine*, highlighting its lead single, "The Boy Is Mine." Inspired by the 2004 film *Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind*, the album explores themes of love and self-reflection, influenced by Grande's personal experiences, including her 2023 divorce. "The Boy Is Mine" draws from Brandy and Monica's 1998 duet of the same name but reinterprets the narrative as a provocative "bad girl anthem" about a complicated love triangle. Grande maintains ambiguity about the song's real-life connections, emphasizing artistic expression over personal disclosure, while fans and critics have responded enthusiastically to the track and the album overall.
