Sourced context

"For Good" is a song from the 2003 musical Wicked. It is sung as a duet between Elphaba and Glinda as a farewell. The song's score and lyrics were written by composer Stephen Schwartz. On the Broadway cast recording, the song is performed by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. In the two-part film adaptation, "For Good" is performed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked: For Good (2025). Schwartz commented after the show premiered that for the opening of the song, he asked his daughter what she would say if she would never see her best friend again, and her answer became the first verse of "For Good".
