The “Wicked: For Good” soundtrack is shaping up to be a magical one!

For the second act of “Wicked,” two new songs were created that were not in the original Broadway musical. These are “No Place Like Home,” performed by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and “The Girl in the Bubble,” performed by Ariana Grande as Glinda, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“The Wicked Witch of the East,” a song from the stage musical that was not included in the cast recordings’ album, will also be part of the “Wicked: For Good” soundtrack. It will be performed by Cynthia, Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, and Ethan Slater as Boq Woodsman.

The other songs are “Every Day More Wicked,” “Thank Goodness/I Couldn’t Be Happier,” “Wonderful,” “I’m Not That Girl (Reprise),” “As Long As You’re Mine,” “No Good Deed,” “March of the Witch Hunters,” and “For Good.”

“I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for ‘Wicked: For Good’ has so much new music on it. In addition to two brand new songs, there is a lot that’s new in several other existing songs,” musical composer Stephen Schwartz said in a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Not only listeners coming to the score for the first time, but long-time fans of the original Broadway cast album, will have a great deal to discover.”

The “Wicked: For Good” soundtrack comes out on November 21, the same day as the movie’s premiere.

In August, the first look at “Wicked: For Good” teased how the friendship of Elphaba and Glinda is tested.

The trailer also showed a glimpse of characters from “The Wizard of Oz,” like Dorothy Gale, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow, who are tasked by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Aside from Ariana and Cynthia, the film will also bring back Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fiyero and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible.
