As Long as You’re Mine Lyrics – Cynthia Erivo & Jonathan Bailey

Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey set the screen ablaze in Wicked: For Good with As Long as You’re Mine, that pulse-racing duet from the sequel’s soundtrack dropping November 21, 2025, via Republic and Verve Records, and it sweeps in like a spell you didn’t see coming, all stolen glances and reckless surrender in the eye of the storm.

This number’s always been a turning point in the Wicked tale, but Erivo and Bailey make it their own, breathing fire into Elphaba and Fiyero’s forbidden spark. Pulled straight from Stephen Schwartz’s score but tailored for the screen, it’s got that soaring Broadway swell with orchestral strings that crash like thunder, wrapped around their voices—her fierce alto locking with his smooth baritone in a way that feels dangerously close.

The lyrics tease that magnetic pull in the trailers, Fiyero admitting he’s fallen under her spell, all while the world outside crumbles. It’s pure escapism laced with ache, capturing the thrill of choosing each other over everything else, filmed in those sweeping Oz sets that amp the intimacy to epic levels. They nailed the first snippet back in October, and it’s been looping in heads ever since, proving why this pair’s chemistry is the film’s secret weapon.

As track seven on the 12-song soundtrack, As Long as You’re Mine sits right in the heart of Wicked: For Good’s emotional core, bridging the high-stakes drama of No Good Deed to the tear-jerking For Good closer. The whole album clocks in at about 45 minutes, blending stage staples like March of the Witch Hunters with fresh additions—Erivo’s solo No Place Like Home, Grande’s bubbly The Girl in the Bubble, and ensemble bangers like Every Day More Wicked that weave in Michelle Yeoh’s gravitas. Directed by Jon M. Chu, it’s the second act’s big swing, diving deeper into identity clashes and unbreakable bonds in a world that demands conformity.

Erivo and Bailey are owning this moment, her fresh off that Emmy glow for Genie in a Bottle and his Bridgerton heat still simmering, both stepping into these iconic roles like they were waiting for them. The first Wicked crushed it last year, pulling in over a billion worldwide, and this sequel feels like their victory lap—raw, real, and ready to redefine what musical magic looks like on screen.

X and TikTok are flooded with trailer breakdowns, fans syncing that opening line to slow-mo clips of their stares, and threads buzzing about how it tops the original cast’s take. If the first film was the setup, this duets the payoff we’ve been craving.
