Ariana Grande recently shared exciting details about her character Glinda’s new song in the Wicked movie sequel, Wicked: For Good, slated for release on November 21, 2025. In an interview on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, Grande described the song as a pivotal moment in Glinda’s journey, one that reveals a side of her character that hasn’t been seen before. Unlike in the stage version, where Glinda’s transformation happens backstage, the film will show viewers the decision-making process that defines her growth.
Grande expressed how honored she was to be the first-ever Glinda to bring this moment to life on the big screen. She described it as a privilege to sing the song and portray such an iconic role. Grande shared that playing Glinda was a dream come true, but it involved extensive preparation, including acting lessons a year before auditions and months of vocal training to master Glinda’s soprano parts.
Fans can expect this new track to offer an emotional and defining moment for Glinda’s character, further enhancing the journey of the beloved role in the film adaptation.
