Reminds me of the song from the musical Wicked.

Which, it’s a fine song. Maybe a bit overplayed at times, but not bad. But the association is very strong.

This is more recent but I also remember when people thought the album that eventually became Madame X might instead be called Magic.

I almost forgot about that one. And Rebel Heart originally being rumored to be titled Messiah.

Second Coming was the best almost-title, which eventually became the lazy title of GHV2.
