Popular (Commentary) Lyrics

Oh my gosh, well Popular was so much fun
I think it was really fun to kind of just play
And find new beats in different ways, and I think
It's a very important moment on so many levels
Some of my favorite things about Wicked is that one scene or one
Song contains so many multitudes of, of truths and of emotion
It can be so funny, over the top hilarious and also really
Emotional all at once, and I think Popular is a turning point where
I think they both realize they've found their first true friend
Glinda is extremely pleased with herself because she has taken
On Elphaba as a project and now feels that she, Glinda, has
Transformed Elphaba into a, a new creature that everybody
Will love and accept, and so she's feeling quite self-
Congratulatory and there- therefore musically, the end just
Expanded into a more sort of self-congratulatory moment that I
Find very amusing and that I, I just feel Ariana does brilliantly
