Chu explains in the nearly three-minute clip, as scenes of Glinda and Elphaba developing in their relationship weave throughout the video. “It starts with a really fun look at how these two young women are so different from each other, they're forced to be roommates and they don't get along at all.”

Erivo adds, “We got to learn about each other and get to know each other,” before Grande noted, “These two very different women just fall completely for each other and that mirrors the experience of what happened with Cynthia and me . .”
