I dont know if youre ready for it, Erivo continued.
So I dont know.
And I dont know if thats just because they were emotional that day or thats what the song does.
I feel like the song is very, very special.
I dont want to give you any more than that.

The story is richer, and the stakes are higher.
Its not just a continuation; its a transformation.

Weve got something really special.
