In an interview with Variety published on Saturday, the 31-year-old star revealed that the sequel flick will feature a new track not included in the original Broadway musical.

"It's a pivotal moment in Glinda's journey," Ariana said of the song. "It shows a side of her we've never seen before."

"In the stage show, this transformation happens offstage," she continued. "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."

The new song will be composed by Stephen Schwartz, who did the music and lyrics for the long-running Broadway iteration.

But could the movie's track make its way onto the stage one day?

"Wouldn't that be lovely?" Ariana teased.

Glinda won't be the only witch getting a new song in the sequel, though, as Cynthia Erivo has revealed that she co-wrote a new song with Stephen for her character, Elphaba.

"I don't know if you're ready for it," Cynthia said on Variety's Awards Circuit podcast in December.

The 38-year-old actor even revealed that the cast and crew were left in tears when they filmed the new song, adding, "I feel like the song is very, very special."

Wicked: For Good will fly into movie theaters on November 21.
