The song "Girl Is Mine" by Jagged Edge is about a situation where a man's girlfriend or partner has chosen to be with someone else. The lyrics express the frustration of the person who is being cheated on, as they confront the other man (Jermaine Dupri) who their partner has chosen over them. The song starts with Dupri expressing his annoyance with men who constantly bother him because their girlfriends are attracted to him. He states that it's not his fault that these women choose him over their current partners. Jagged Edge then enters the song, emphasizing that the girl in question has chosen to be with them instead. They mockingly ask the person who has been cheated on how everyone seems to know the rules except for him. They assert that the girl is now theirs and there is nothing the other person can do about it. The chorus repeats the message that the girl has chosen Jagged Edge over her current partner, and they need to accept it. They suggest finding someone who will be faithful, as it's clear that this girl's eyes have wandered and she is interested in being with Jagged Edge. The lyrics then take a turn with the addition of rapper Ja Rule. He adds his own perspective, boasting about his rap skills and how he's not interested in being in a committed relationship. He implies that he is used to women choosing him over their partners and displays a cavalier attitude towards love and relationships. Overall, the song conveys the story of a person who has lost their partner to someone else, with Jagged Edge and Ja Rule confidently asserting their role in the situation.
