New Songs in Wicked: For Good
Wicked: For Good introduces two original songs, enhancing the story from the second act of the Broadway musical.
About the Movie Musical
Part 2 of the movie musical continues from the Broadway show’s second half, following Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she sings "Defying Gravity" after discovering the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) is a fraud. The story explores deeper elements of Elphaba and Glinda’s friendship and journeys.
New Songs and Their Meaning
- Cynthia Erivo performs "No Place Like Home".
- Ariana Grande sings "The Girl in the Bubble".
“Both witches are trying to find their way home. Both of these songs are about how to do that, and it’s questions that I’ve always wanted to hear from them in the stage show, but never got to. We get to take our time and explore those questions.” – Director Jon M. Chu, September 2025
Songwriting and Preview
Both tracks were composed by Stephen Schwartz, the original Broadway musical’s composer. Fans experienced a preview of these songs during the Wicked: One Wonderful Night special on NBC before the film’s November 2025 release.
