Stephen Schwartz composed two new original songs for the Wicked: For Good soundtrack, offering fresh solo performances for lead actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

  • On Wednesday, the Wicked: For Good soundtrack was announced, featuring two new songs by Stephen Schwartz and releasing November 21 with the film via Republic Records and Verve Records.
  • Schwartz added that he was writing a new song, and last week Jon M. Chu teased the soundtrack features two new songs by Schwartz, with additional new material.
