Brandy and Monica have gone back into the studio together for the first time in 14 years to record a follow-up to their smash hit "The Boy Is Mine." Monica broke the news in a tweet on Friday, posting a photo of herself with Brandy in a Miami studio. Brandy commented on the session on Sunday, tweeting "Wonderful night in the studio! I wasn't 100%, but I gave it my all it turned out great! Just a little more raspy than normal:)"

It is unclear exactly what the two singers are recording with producer Rico Love, and how the product of their session together will be released. If the song is in fact a sequel to "The Boy Is Mine," we could learn whether either singer ever got the dude in question, or if they've moved on to face off over an entirely new man. Either way, it's pretty unlikely that the guy has much of a say in the matter.

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
