Ariana Grande Teases Brand New Glinda Song in 'Wicked: For Good"

Genuinely counting down the days until Wicked: For Good comes out and we get to do this entire press cycle all over again—and apparently the movie has some surprises. Specifically, a brand new Glinda song by composer Stephen Schwartz.

We don't know much about the new song, but Ariana Grande gave a vague teaser during an interview with Variety, saying “It’s a pivotal moment in Glinda’s journey. It shows a side of her we’ve never seen before. In the stage show, this transformation happens offstage. But in the movie, we get to see her make the decision that defines who she is. It’s a privilege to sing this song and be the first Glinda to bring it to life.”

Ariana confirmed she actually hasn't seen Wicked: For Good just yet, saying "Shooting For Good was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It was such a long and emotional process. I kind of left my body. We filmed it over the course of a week, and it stayed with me. I haven’t even seen the final cut yet because I’m not sure I’m ready to feel all of it again.”

“I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz and dreaming of being in a musical like this,” she said. “It’s wild to think that something I manifested as a kid has become real. But it wasn’t just manifestation—it was a lot of hard work. My mom always taught me that nothing is out of reach if you’re kind, you work hard, and you believe in yourself. That’s what I carried into this role.”
