After a label change to Clive Davis’s Arista Records, Monica’s mainstream success was boosted, when Diane Warren-written “For You I Will”, from the Space Jam soundtrack (1996), became her next top ten pop hit. The following year she was asked to team up with singer Brandy and producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins to record “The Boy Is Mine”, the first single from both of their second albums. Released in May 1998, surrounding highly publicized rumors about a real-life catfight between both singers, the duet became both the biggest hit of the summer and the biggest hit of 1998 in general in America, spending thirteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Rolling Stone proclaimed it “closer to soul’s source… harking back past hip-hop songbirds like Mary J. Blige and adult-contemporary sirens like Toni Braxton”, while AllMusic called the album an “irresistible sounding [and] immaculately crafted musical backdrop […] as good as mainstream urban R&B gets in 1998.” Monica has also made guest appearances on several television shows such as Living Single (1996), Beverly Hills, 90210 (1997, 1999).

Monica has sold 5.3 million albums in the United States and she is recognized as one of the most successful urban R&B female vocalists to emerge in the mid to late 1990s. According to Billboard, she is the youngest recording act to ever have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart, as well as the first artist to top the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart over the span of three consecutive decades (1990s, 2000s, and 2010s). In 2010, Billboard listed Monica at number 24 on its list of the Top 50 R&B and Hip Hop Artists of the past 25 years.

In 2000, Monica contributed chorus vocals for “I’ve Got to Have It”, a collaboration with Jermaine Dupri and rapper Nas. Released as the Big Momma’s House theme song, the song saw minor success in the United States only. The following year, she released the Ric Wake production track “Just Another Girl”, recorded for the Down to Earth soundtrack, as a single. A year later, Monica channeled much of her heavily media-discussed experiences into the production of her third studio album, All Eyez on Me, her first release on mentor Clive Davis newly founded J Records label. “I just wanted to give the people back something that had personal passion, instead of just, ‘Oh, let’s dance to this record’,” she said about the issues worked into the tracks. The first single “All Eyez on Me”, a Rodney Jerkins-produced R&B-dance track, saw minor to moderate success on the international charts but failed to enter the higher half of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. A follow-up song, “Too Hood”, also got a lukewarm response and as a result, the album’s tentative release was pushed back several times. “I don’t think people wanted to hear a big fun record from me, after knowing all the things that I had personally experienced,” Monica second-guessed her new material which saw both early and heavy bootlegging via internet at that time.
